This was a fun museum to visit, especially if it's rainy during your visit or if you're looking for something to do w/in walking distance in the historic district. Not huge, but interesting and entertaining. More

There were a TON of toys on display, but it was a museum, not a fun center. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to interact with the toys.

My expectations weren't high, but this lovely museum is a great way to spend an hour. All my old favourites are here, rows of Sindy and Barbie Dolls (did you know Barbie had a Chanel collection?), hundreds of toy soldiers from Romans and Barbarians through to modern, cars, trains, planes, dolls houses.

Great museum to see a large collection of toys dated since the beginning of the 20th century. The building used to be the headquarters of the Sintra Fire Brigade. Worth the visit especially if you have kids. More
