Rainy-Day Activities
Parque das Nações (p132), in Lisbon, has
plenty of child-friendly attractions, including
water fountains to play in, a cable car and the
Oceanário de Lisboa. Here you’ll find a vast
array of fish, as well as puffins, penguins and
sea otters. For kids who love cars and trains,
a visit to Lisbon’s Museu da Carris (p131)
includes a trip around the huge site in a
traditional tram, as well as the chance to climb
into old buses, horse-drawn trams, coaches
and trucks. No football fan will want to miss
Funchal’s Museu CR7 – better known as the
Cristiano Ronaldo Museum (p355). Inside is a
huge array of trophies, golden boots, video
clips showing some of Ronaldo’s best goals
and plenty of correspondence from his fans.
