Stunning! A gorgeous palace with luxurious furniture! lots of history in one place! The gardens are gorgeous!

Interesting museum and informative on Brazilian history. I did not care for wearing the buffing covers for your shoes but understand it as you're walking on very old wood floors. The gold crib was a sight to see.

Great place to walk around and see how the other half lived in Brazil in the late 19 cent. You can't take any bags into so you have to check you bag as your entre. Walked round at a slow pace and it took around 1 hour. Worth a visit, was free entrance when I went so even better value.

Worth the visit and a walk through the park at the museum. Good to understand a little about brazilian imperial history.

I loved the museum. It was a travel to empire time in Brazil! Lots of photos, objects and rooms of Dom Pedro II and his family.
