The Gulbenkian Garden, located in the center of Lisbon next to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, is one of the most emblematic green spaces of modern Portuguese urbanism. It was designed in the 1960s by landscape architects Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles and António Viana Barreto and inaugurated in 1969.

If you want to escape the beaches of Sesimbra, the Lagoa de Albufeira is the right option, even more so if you have kids. The place is secure, the water is calm and the visibility is perfect. If you want to practice some sports, it is also ideal. The environment is attractive. But if you have a choice, try to go in low season as the place tend to be packed with families and parking is a serious problem!

The Gulbenkian Garden is an oasis of nature and peacefulness in the city of Lisbon, the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The garden's history goes back several centuries: it began as a recreational farm (in the 18th century), became Santa Gertrudes Park (in the 19th century) and, years later, became Lisbon's first Zoo. In the 20th century, the Zoo became a local fair, and later the venue was acquired by the Gulbenkian Foundation. Thus, was born the Gulbenkian Garden, a project by landscape architects António Viana Barreto and Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles.

The largest urban park in the municipality of Almada (50 hectares), with an extensive network of paths; a lake that is a natural habitat for diverse fauna; ponds; a vast wooded area interspersed with clearings; a Biodiversity Station trail; public toilets; a kiosk; bicycle parking; and an electric vehicle charging station. Surrounded by the urban fabric of the city of Almada, the Parque da Paz is a leisure space that appeals to the stillness of the senses.
