Parks and gardens in Lisbon

Parks & Gardens of Lisbon

Lisbon’s green spaces range from the 19th-century Lisbon Botanical Garden, housing over 18,000 species, to the manicured lawns of Praça do Império in Belém. Historical gardens like Tapada da Ajuda offer protected natural areas, while miradouros such as Santa Luzia provide terraces decorated with traditional azulejo tiles. Many of these parks, including Jardim da Cerca da Graça and Vasco da Gama, serve as urban retreats featuring cultural monuments, exotic flora, and elevated views of the Tagus River and the city’s red-tiled skyline.
