Step by step with Art and Science - Between Amoreiras and the Chiado

Visit eight Lisbon museums stopping at eight metro stations

The metro is not just the quickest form of transport in Lisbon. It has stops at key points on the route between Rato and the Baixa-Chiado, along which are eight iconic Lisbon museums:

- Museu Arqueológico do Carmo (Carmo Archaeological Museum)
- Museu do Chiado (Chiado Museum)
- Museu da Farmácia (The Pharmacy Museum)
- Museu Nacional da História Natural e da Ciência (National Museum of Natural History and Science)
- Museu Geológico (Geological Museum)
- Museu da Água da EPAL - Reservatório da Mãe d'Água e Reservatório da Patriarcal
 (EPAL Water Museum - Mãe d'Água Reservoir and Patriarcal Reservoir)
- Museu Arpad Szenes-Vieira da Silva (Arpad Szenes-Vieira da Silva Museum)
- Museu de São Roque (Museum of São Roque). 

Visit eight Lisbon museums, stopping at eight metro stations. On the route between Amoreiras and the Chiado, one of the most culturally dynamic in the city of Lisbon, there are eight museums with collections as diverse as archaeology, history, art history, the fine arts and the sciences. What's more, the metro is itself a museum of modern and contemporary art, with amazing spaces which surprise for the boldness and artistic quality of their tiled walls. 

To complement the art and science tours, between January and August 2015 on the last Saturday of each month, there will be a free guided tour, by prior reservation, to each of the eight museums located between Rato and the Chiado to discover the close relationship that exists between the metro stations and the museums.
