    Belém Palace, located in Lisbon, Portugal, serves as both the official residence of the President of Portugal and a museum open to the public. Visitors generally appreciate its historical significance and architectural beauty. The palace offers insights into Portuguese history and governance, with many noting the well-preserved interiors and furnishings. The gardens surrounding the palace are often highlighted as a pleasant feature. However, some visitors mention that the museum portion is relatively small and can be explored quickly. Access to certain areas may be limited due to its function as a working government building. While informative, some guests feel the experience could be enhanced with more detailed explanations or guided tours.
