Luggage storage at the National Museum of the Azulejo

The National Museum of the Azulejo, housed in the former Convento da Madre de Deus in Lisbon, has been closed for renovation works under the Recovery and Resilience Plan since November 1, 2025, with no reopening date confirmed as of August 2026.

If you're travelling with bags, there's no point planning on the museum's own free locker storage at the entrance right now. When the museum does reopen, ramps cover most of the exhibition area and a lift serves floors 1 and 2, though the Igreja da Madre de Deus is only viewable from the Upper Choir.

Getting to the museum with luggage

If you're coming by rail with bags, Santa Apolónia Train Station is a primary terminal for international train services, and it also serves various Portuguese cities with intercity and regional trains operated by Comboios de Portugal (CP). There's no direct train link between it and Lisbon Airport; all rail services require a transfer at Lisbon Oriente.

If you're taking the bus instead, a single ticket on a Navegante card costs €1.90, or €1.72 using Zapping, though buying on board jumps to €2.30. The Baixa-Chiado metro station on the Blue and Green lines is the primary transit hub located directly within that neighbourhood.

Nearby sights and their bag rules

Alfama is Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood, a medieval tangle of narrow streets that survived the 1755 earthquake and is known for Fado music and viewpoints like Miradouro de Santa Luzia. There's no metro station inside Alfama itself; Santa Apolónia and Terreiro do Paço bracket it, while Tram 28 and Tram 12E run through the area.

The Elevador de Santa Justa connects Rua do Ouro with Largo do Carmo and is a National Monument famous for its neo-Gothic ironwork and the view from the top.
