About this tour

This call is a short conversation about Lapa's museums, based on a childhood spent in the neighbourhood around them. I answer your questions about the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga's collection and whether it suits your own interests before you decide to visit.

After a brief sound check we go straight into your questions, comparing the museum against other options nearby depending on your time. I send a short list of notes once the call ends.

It suits travellers deciding whether Lapa's museums fit their trip, wanting a local's honest read first. Nothing is booked during the call; it is a conversation only.

  • A 30-minute call with a local guide
  • Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
  • A short follow-up note with every place mentioned

Not included

  • Bookings made on your behalf
  • Phone or data charges from your provider
