Frigate D. Fernando II e Glória Tickets
Step aboard the last wooden sailing ship of the Portuguese Navy and discover 19th-century maritime history on the Tagus River. The Frigate D. Fernando II e Glória offers a fascinating self-guided experience through authentic naval quarters, from the captain's cabin to the cannon deck. This restored frigate sailed over 100,000 nautical miles during its service years, connecting Europe and Asia as part of Portugal's naval fleet.
Located at Largo Alfredo Dinis, this floating museum brings centuries of seafaring adventure to life. Walk the same decks where sailors once prepared for months-long voyages, examine period artefacts in meticulously recreated quarters, and learn about navigation techniques that guided Portuguese explorers across distant waters. The ship's scenic riverside location provides excellent photo opportunities against the backdrop of the Tagus.
What is Included
- Self-guided access to the frigate
- Informational displays in English and Portuguese throughout the vessel
- Access to captain's quarters, crew areas, and cannon deck
