Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- JenniferWashington DC, DC27 contributionsThe museum is attached to the Jeronimos Monastery so it's an easy transition once you've gone through the cathedral and monastery. Very much worth the visit. Beautifully detailed replicas of various ships, paintings and historical accounting of the rich history and importance of the Portuguese explorers and their fleets. Full sized boats displayed as well. Don't miss the King and Queen's ship cabins!Written 17 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nancy FSan Diego, CA147 contributionsThis place was remarkable! I have been to military museums all around the world, and this one is one of the best. The streets were under construction, so it was challenging to find the entrance, but once we did, it was well worth it. It only cost 3 euros to get in (cash only). As with most military museums, there are lots of interesting weapons. The cannons and carriages from the 1500 and 1600's were unique and impressive. However, part of the unforeseen draw to this museum was the beautiful building and layout of the displays. The interior is exquisite! It felt like I was touring through a miniature Palce of Versailles. The rooms and staircases are gorgeous with weaponry of many eras adorning them. Even more remarkable was the fact that we spent 2 hours inside and only saw one other visitor. Highly recommend!Written 26 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
