Take a converted church with an ancient wall in it's basement and a gold bar you can hold in it's reception...and you have the Money Museum in Lisbon! This museum is only a couple of minutes walk from the Praca do Comercio, and it's free to enter, so there's really no reason not to take a look. Don't be put off by the security scanning as you go in, remember, there is a gold bar in there!
The variety of exhibits was good, I especially liked the really old coins, the workmanship was incredible, and the collection of different bank notes which was really interesting. As some other reviewers have said, the staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. Just make sure you follow the plan and don't miss out half of the exhibits (like some of our group did...!!). The museum is spread over a few floors but it does have a lift for those with mobility issues.
Highly recommended!
