The ultramodern Museu do Teatro Romano catapults you back to Emperor Augustus’ rule in Olisipo (Lisbon). The star attraction is a ruined Roman theater, extended in 57 CE, buried in the 1755 earthquake and finally unearthed in 1964 (you can enter for free).
Downstairs, viewing platforms give you an up-close and personal look at the excavated backstage area, along with 3D renderings and videos that make things far easier to digest. There are guided tours in English and Spanish on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3pm.
