Large models, film-inspired worlds, an interactive play area and a trick-photo gallery fill Cordoaria Nacional. A family-friendly exhibition rather than a guided building workshop; confirm current ticket and age rules.

Campo Pequeno
This is a food-shop stop, not a flea market: certified organic producers bring fruit, vegetables, herbs and other Portuguese products to the Campo Pequeno garden.
