3D Fun Art Museum Lisboa

Lisbon, Portugal

Step into a painting, hang off the side of a skyscraper, and get into other wacky scenarios at the 3D Fun Art Museum Lisboa. Full of optical illusions, this museum north of central Lisbon has more than three dozen backdrops for endless photo ops, and it’s especially popular for families and as a quick detour en route to the nearby Edward VII Park.

The basics

The 3D Fun Art Museum Lisboa won’t teach you a ton about Lisbon’s history or culture, but it is a popular way to make photographic memories of your time in the city. Plan to spend about an hour taking silly photos and going through the interactive exhibits before heading to other museums on the north side of Lisbon. The Banksy Museum and Calouste Gulbenkian Museum are both nearby, making this an easy stop on an art-filled afternoon.

Things to know before you go

  • Reservations to visit the museum are required on weekends and holidays.
  • You’ll need to bring your own camera for photos, but staffers are on hand to help you set up the shot.
  • The museum is not wheelchair accessible.

How to get there

To get to the 3D Fun Art Museum from central Lisbon, ride the metro on the blue line to the São Sebastião stop, a short walk from the museum. Public transportation is your best bet, as the attraction is about an hour away from the Alfama district on foot, or a 25-minute drive.

When to get there

The museum is open every day from mid-morning to evening, so it’s easy to fit into sightseeing in Lisbon. Avoid busy weekends if you don’t have a reservation, and if you’re going to the museum on the way to Edward VII Park, get there in the afternoon so you can watch the sunset from the park’s elevated lawn.

The best photo ops in Lisbon

If you’d like to take some outdoor photos after visiting the 3D Fun Art Museum, the hilly city is known for its miradouros, or viewpoints overlooking the colorful architecture and sapphire water beyond. Miradouro de Santa Luzia, with a tiled terrace in the heart of the Alfama neighborhood, is one of the best, while Miradouro da Graça has an even higher vantage point and is great for people-watching.
