Parks and Gardens

This collection spans from the Romanticist landscapes of Sintra to the structured greenery of central Lisbon. Highlights include the mystical initiation wells of Quinta da Regaleira and the expansive 200-hectare Pena Park. Within the city, the 19th-century Estrela Park offers a classic English-style garden, while the Estufa Fria features exotic species under slatted wood structures. Specialized sites like the Tropical Botanical Garden showcase flora from former Portuguese colonies, and viewpoints like Santa Luzia combine manicured gardens with traditional tilework.
