Whether you're visiting for the first time or looking for something new, we've rated every option for age-appropriateness, stroller access, and value so you can skip the guesswork.

Art museums and cultural venues don't have to be boring for kids. The best ones have interactive elements, kids' audio tours, or dedicated family galleries. We note which have stroller-friendly layouts and which require you to leave the stroller at the door. In Lisbon, expect sunny and warm most of the year — avoid August heat, spring and fall are perfect. Pro tip: Ride Tram 28 early morning before crowds. The Oceanário is one of Europe's best aquariums. Pastéis de nata (custard tarts) from Belém are a mandatory family stop. Lisbon is hilly — bring a carrier for toddlers, not just a stroller.
