Last time I was in Serra da Estrela I went to Seia to visit the Bread Museum (open since 2002) unique museum in the world shows the whole process of making bread from the grain to the bread. The museum as four diferent rooms, a fine restaurant, a bar with a great view, a grocery store with typical products from the region.Entrance only costs € 2!Don´t miss it.
Gostei muito da visita ao museu. Aborda muitos temas relacionados com o pão e todo o historial desde há muitos anos. Confesso que não esperava gostar tanto.A visita guiada é mais indicada para os mais pequenos, no entanto é muito engraçada.
Somehow we came across the Museu do Pao on the internet & added it as a lunch stop on our trip to the Serra da Estrela. The museum is a little work to find but the views are nice from atop the hill overlookng Seia. The restaurant is packed with families on Sunday so we recommend calling ahead. Luckily since there was only 2 of us, they squeezed us in. The buffet is a nice mix of local cuisine and 5 types of bread! Afterwards we also toured the museum, which features a lot of information on the importance of bread in Portuguese history. I think the museum & restaurant is closed on Mondays.
Very interesting museum. Plenty of rooms to visit, and awesome for children who can actually made a piece of bread!A must visit.
The museum itself has a nice part for little kids, where they can make their own bread. The adult part is filled with history and explanations related to the region and the bread making process. There is a local products shop where you can buy some amazing cheese, bread, wine and other products. If you visit on Christmas time, the decoration is really good =)
Vale a pena fazer visita e não deixe de reservar o restaurante para o almoço ! A comida é muito bem preparada e o preço justo!
Custo da visita elevado. Guias simpáticas. Pouca organização nas visitas guiadas. Lembraças com custo elevado. Espaço limpo.
um bocado bem passado, tem varias valências para alem do museu, o bar panorâmico com uma vista magnifica, restaurante e uma mercearia com produtos da região e pão feito no local
An unexpected museum. Beautiful building, outstanding location. Good historic research, interesting documents and exhibition and a room with puppets which if you have children is very , very nice. Didn't try the restaurant but after seeing it we feel sorry...
O Museu conta a importância do trigo em Portugal no seu apogeu mas o auge foi conhecer os Cães da Serra, cachorros de grande porte, opulentos e dóceis.
