Eduardo VII Park

Eduardo VII Park is one of Lisbon's most recognizable landmarks, the long green park that stretches up from Marques de Pombal, framed by carefully trimmed hedges and ending in a panoramic terrace with views across the city toward the Tejo River. For families, it is a reliable and central green space that can fit into almost any Lisbon day.

The park's two tropical greenhouses, the Estufa Quente, hot greenhouse, and the Estufa Fria, cold greenhouse, are indoor spaces that surprise many visitors who expect a standard greenhouse. The Estufa Fria in particular is a large, cliff-like structure filled with ferns, lily ponds, and a cool microclimate that works well as a hot-weather break. Kids are often drawn to the giant water lily pads and the exotic birds that live inside.

A small admission fee applies.

The park itself is free and open at all hours. The wide central promenade works well for strollers, bikes, and running kids. A typical family visit works as a morning or late afternoon activity: walk up through the park, explore the greenhouses, and end with a meal along nearby Avenida da Liberdade.
