The gardens of Belem

  The gardens of Belem, situated near the iconic Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, offer a serene escape within the city’s bustling atmosphere. Designed in the late 19th century, these gardens boast a delightful blend of beautifully manicured lawns, vibrant flower beds, and decorative fountains. Covering over 35,000 square meters, the space showcases an impressive collection of over 100 plant species, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts. During spring, particularly in April, visitors can witness the gardens at their most colorful, with blooming flora creating a picturesque setting. While exploring, guests can relax on one of the many benches or stroll along the winding paths, taking in views of the nearby Tagus River.
