The Quake - Lisbon Earthquake Museum offers a modern and immersive way to understand one of the most important events in the city's history. It is dedicated to the devastating 1755 Lisbon earthquake, which destroyed much of the city and had a profound impact across Europe.

Rather than being a traditional museum, it focuses on interactive experiences. Visitors are guided through different rooms that explain what happened before, during, and after the earthquake, including the tsunami and fires that followed. One of the highlights is a simulation that allows you to feel what the earthquake might have been like, making the experience both educational and memorable.

The museum also explores how Lisbon was rebuilt afterwards under the direction of the Marquês de Pombal, introducing new urban planning ideas that shaped the city you see today. It connects well with other places in your itinerary, such as Baixa and Praça do Comércio, which were redesigned after the disaster.

Including this museum in your itinerary adds important context to Lisbon's history, helping you better understand how the city was transformed and why it looks the way it does today.
