National Tile Museum (Museu Nacional do Azulejo) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit the National Tile Museum in 2025?

National Tile Museum tickets cost €10 (roughly US$11), although visitors with the Lisboa Card can visit for free. Because the museum is away from Lisbon’s historical center, you also need to consider the cost of getting there by public transportation, a taxi, or a hop-on hop-off bus—tickets for these start at €24 (US$25).

Q: Are guided tours available at the National Tile Museum?

No, the National Tile Museum does not offer guided tours. Instead, it provides an audio guide you can download as an app. To visit the museum with a guide, book a private tour that includes guided exploration of the museum and an azulejo tile workshop.

Q: Is the National Tile Museum suitable for children?

Most children won’t find Lisbon’s National Tile Museum all that interesting, but there aren’t any issues regarding adult or mature content. Young children might get bored since the museum’s main focus is the design and art of its tiles, with very few interactive elements.

Q: How long does it take to tour the National Tile Museum?

Allow up to two hours for your self-guided tour of the National Tile Museum in Lisbon. Many visitors find that they only need around one hour here, but if you listen to all the details of the audio tour, then you’ll be glad to have the extra time set aside.

Q: What are some nearby attractions to visit after the National Tile Museum?

Because the National Tile Museum is in eastern Lisbon, you won’t find many nearby attractions. The main places to visit after the museum are the Museu da Água da EPAL (Museum of Water), which explains Lisbon’s efforts to source fresh water, and the Alto de São João Cemetery, home to elaborate tombs and mausoleums.

Tiles and Tales: Workshop and National Tile Museum Visit

Alex_R, Mar 2026

It is a wonderful tour....

It is a wonderful tour. In such a small group, you really get to learn a lot and ask lots of questions you are curious about. The tile painting workshop was very cool if you like creative activities. Sadly the tile museum was closed but we got to see Palace Fronteira which was mind blowingly beautiful. Overall a wonderful experience

Our guide Nuno was very informative and respectful. The combination of learning about tiles, touring the city and factory and then painting tiles made for a great day!

Custom tiles

Very interesting to see the craftsmanship of tiles still being made and painted by hand. My husband went into it neutral and came out an extra hour later after planning to make a custom order. Nu Nu our guide was fantastic, showed us tiles around Lisbon, history of the area, current affairs and more. He found us a great place for lunch too!

Tales and Tales: A fine introduction to Lisbon

We enjoyed this personalized tour and definitely recommend it to others. Tiago, our guide, brought his warmth, extensive knowledge, even-keeled demeanor, and fluent English to our day-long exploration of the city through the lens of tiles. The tile making workshop was fun for us as a couple and we’d see it working very well for families with children; our college aged daughters would have enjoyed it also if they were with us I asked a slew of questions about things, cultural, economic, and political, and appreciated Tiago’s ability to share his perspective and glimpses of his life as appropriate. For us, this tour was a fine introduction to the city that kicked off the great days we spent in and around Lisbon; I did see tiles differently all around the city for the rest of our time here and leave with a great appreciation of this art form.

A Perfect Day

It was a perfect day! Our guide, Nuno, was super knowledgeable, very kind and accommodating — the perfect experience Sherpa. We started with a wonderful tour of Lisbon during which Nuno pointed out the notable tiles used on the exteriors. This was followed by the visit to the artisan tile facility. Here, we were able to paint a tile and gain a better understanding about the history of tile making. From there we visited Sesimbra where we enjoyed lunch overlooking the ocean. Then back to Lisbon and a visit to the Palace - a spectacular sample of tiles for both interior and exterior decor. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and a better itinerary. Highly recommend this experience!!

Tile Factory and Museum

This was everything it claimed it would be. We toured Lisbon, had a relaxing drive out to the tile factory. We created our own tiles that will be shipped to our home in the USA. We had a wonderful lunch by the river then went to the tile museum. My husband an avid tile enthusiast was overwhelmed with fascination. Our guide was very knowledgeable and throughout the tour the two discussed their love of this art form. The day was incredible! We both highly recommend.

Must do for hands on experience

Must do. Hands on. Drove through Lisbon to see tile designs from different eras and artists then 40 minute drive to a workshop to see how made then made our own tiles which are shipped home. One of best tours we did and our guide Nunu was great! We chose to skip museum. Tour ran 930-330pm
