The Foz Palace is currently not open to the public, as its grand interiors are being restored to their original gilded glory. However, it’s free to admire the pastel pink exterior of the palace. You can also delve deeper into its history on a self-guided Lisbon scavenger hunt, with prices from around US$6.

While the exterior of the Foz Palace is colorful and worth admiring if passing by, it's not worth going out of your way to visit the landmark, as you can't go inside. However, you'll likely pass by it at some point due to its location on the edge of the busy Praça dos Restauradores in Lisbon's historical center.

The Foz Palace is rarely open to the public, although that may change once the extensive renovations are completed (officials haven't confirmed a reopening date). Check the official Lisbon tourism website to see if any events are taking place at the palace during your visit.

If you're lucky enough to enter the Foz Palace, you'll be able to see marble pillars, painted ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and antique art that dates back to the 19th century. It's also home to the lavish Hall of Mirrors, said to have been based on the decoration of the Palace of Versailles.

Thanks to its convenient location in central Lisbon on Restauradores Square, the Foz Palace is close to several Lisbon attractions. Avenida da Liberdade, renowned for its luxury hotels and designer stores, is just a 10-minute walk away, while the historic Santa Justa Lift is only a few minutes away.
