Edward VII Park
Lisbon's largest inner city park is named after Britain's king Edward VII, who visited the city in 1903. The main attraction of this wonderful park is its green house, which houses exotic tropical trees, flowers and bushes. The park, which stretches all the way down to Tagus River, has a nice lakeside restaurant and a sports pavilion that hosts concerts and cultural events.

The Botanical Garden
The city's main botanical garden was laid out in 1874 and once was considered the most impressive botanical garden in Southern Europe. The garden is almost invisible as it is hidden between back streets, but don't let this fact mislead you; the garden has one of the largest collections of exotic plants and nearly 15,000 species of subtropical vegetations. This is definitely one of the most relaxing spots in the city.
Opening times:
May - Oct: Daily: 9 am - 8 pm.
Nov - Apr: Daily: 9 am - 6 pm.
