Monsanto Ecological Park

"Parque de Monsanto: A natural haven just a stone’s throw from the city centre Although Lisbon is highly developped, there are natural areas you might not expect, just a stone’s throw from the city centre. The Parque de Monsanto, often called Lisbon’s “green lung,” is a vast nature reserve perfect for a nature break. With its footpaths, cycle paths and picnic areas, Monsanto is the ideal place to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The park also boasts impressive vantage points, children’s play areas and areas dedicated to biodiversity. You can even discover surprising places like the Panorâmico de Monsanto, a former abandoned restaurant turned street art spot offering spectacular panoramic views over Lisbon."
