Jardim da Estrela<\/strong> Construction of Jardim da Estrela began in 1842. Tropical Botanical Garden<\/strong> Located in Bel\u00e9m, next to the Jer\u00f3nimos Monastery, this magnificent 7-hectare garden specializes in tropical and subtropical flora, featuring more than 500 species from different continents. Highlights include the lake with its \u201cfruit tree island\u201d and the Oriental Garden, inspired by traditional Eastern landscapes.<\/p>\n Ajuda Botanical Garden<\/strong> Inaugurated in 1768 and designed by Italian naturalist Domingos Vandelli, this was the first botanical garden in Portugal. It offers a fantastic view over the Tagus estuary and the picturesque houses of Ajuda and Bel\u00e9m. The garden is decorated with ponds and a central fountain (the Fountain of 40 Spouts), rich in stone carvings of marine animals. Visitors are also greeted by peacocks freely roaming the grounds with their striking plumage.<\/p>\n Monsanto Forest Park<\/strong> Covering 900 hectares of diverse woodland, Monsanto Forest Park is known as Lisbon\u2019s \u201cgreen lung.\u201d It is a favorite spot for walking, outdoor activities, picnics, or simply enjoying nature. The Monsanto Interpretation Center is the gateway for those who wish to learn more about the park. Facilities include playgrounds (Serafina, Alvito, and Moinhos de Santana), an amphitheater, picnic areas, fitness circuits, a climbing wall, bike trails, MTB paths, and even a campsite.<\/p>\n Estufa Fria (Greenhouse)<\/strong> An important green space in Lisbon, inaugurated in 1933, Estufa Fria is located in Eduardo VII Park and consists of three distinct areas: the Cold Greenhouse, the Hot Greenhouse, and the Sweet Greenhouse. Legend has it that the garden began when the basalt quarry that occupied the site became inactive, and the spring found there provided fertile ground for plants from all over the world.<\/p>\n Campo Grande Garden<\/strong> Covering over 10 hectares, Campo Grande Garden is the largest green space in central Lisbon. A public promenade since the 16th century, it was planted in the 19th century and once hosted horse races. In 1945, it was redesigned by Keil do Amaral, but by the late 20th century, it was considered rundown. In 2013, major renovations improved its lighting, safety, and visibility. Its central lake features rowing boats for visitors, along with a pleasant caf\u00e9 terrace.<\/p>\n Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Garden<\/strong> Acquired by the Foundation in 1957, the gardens and terraces were designed by landscape architects Gon\u00e7alo Ribeiro Telles and Ant\u00f3nio Viana Barreto. A remodeling in 2002 introduced new pathways, plants, and water features. The central lake remains the garden\u2019s main attraction, and in 2010 the complex was declared a National Monument. To this day, it offers a perfect escape from the city\u2019s hustle and bustle.<\/p>\n Jardim da Cerca da Gra\u00e7a<\/strong> This garden emerged from a recent project linking Mouraria to Gra\u00e7a. Considered the second-largest green space in Lisbon\u2019s historic center, it includes a large lawn, three viewpoints, a picnic area, an orchard, a playground, and a kiosk with a terrace.<\/p>\n Quinta das Conchas and Lilases Park<\/strong> Dating back to the 16th century, this is one of the oldest estates remaining in Lisbon. Covering 24 hectares, it offers a stage for events, picnic areas, forest trails, a playground, and wide lawns. It\u2019s ideal for outdoor activities and attracts people of all ages, making it an invaluable asset to the city.<\/p>\n Jardim do Cabe\u00e7o das Rolas<\/strong> Located on the highest hill in Parque das Na\u00e7\u00f5es, it offers wide views over the park and the river. Its name comes from the fact that it was once a migratory stopover for turtle doves.<\/p>\n Lapa Palace, Lisbon\u2019s most exclusive garden<\/strong> A lush green oasis in the city center, this garden is exclusive to hotel guests and restaurant clients. It features ornamental fountains and water features, making it a peaceful and elegant retreat.<\/p>\n Pure nature around Lisbon<\/strong> About 30 minutes from Lisbon lies the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, which stretches along the coast between Cascais and S\u00e3o Juli\u00e3o Beach, covering the Sintra Mountains and the rural V\u00e1rzea de Colares. This park combines an immense cultural heritage with stunning natural beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The city of Lisbon is blessed with great weather that deserves to be enjoyed in its many gardens and parks, both in the city center and in the surrounding areas.
