Is the Foz Palace worth it?

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.

Lisbon Scavenger Hunt & Highlights Self-Guided Walking Tour

This tour explores Lisbon’s infatuation with Europe - and especially with France - in the last quarter of the 19th century. The opening of a majestic train station in Downtown allowing a direct connection to Paris became a clear sign of progress. But equally or more important was to recreate in Lisbon the culture, the elegance and the cosmopolitan magic of the City of Light. This urge for the so-called Civilization meant, on more pragmatic grounds, a replica of a French Boulevard in the heart of the Portuguese capital. This implied building a constellation of imposing buildings decorated with greenery, public art and street furniture. Today the Liberty Avenue area has the highest concentration of upmarket shops, luxury hotels and large companies offices. However, many locals never got accustomed to this transplanted French urbanscape and even today the city inhabitants have a nonlinear relationship with its main avenue.
