Top Parks in Portugal

I suggest visiting Edward VII Park in the early morning, around 8 AM, to enjoy peaceful vibes and cooler temperatures. It’s a great way to start your day.

Don’t skip a stroll down the park's pathways, but watch for uneven paths. It’s pretty but can be a little tricky if you’re not paying attention.

Bring a picnic blanket and some snacks! There are lovely spots to sit and enjoy the view of the gardens without spending a lot on food.

I recommend downloading a good offline map. Cell service can be spotty in some areas, and you don't want to get lost in those beautiful woods.

Make sure to wear sturdy hiking boots! The trail can be uneven and muddy in some spots. I learned the hard way when my sneakers got soaked.

Don't skip the little detours to explore Roman ruins along the road. They are fascinating and make for great photo ops!

If you're visiting with kids, consider bringing some fun hiking gear like walking sticks or binoculars to keep them engaged and active.

Bring a light jacket or sweater! It can get a bit breezy in the evening, and I was not prepared for that when I visited

I suggest visiting during sunset around 7:30 PM. The colors are absolutely stunning and the crowds tend to thin out a bit as well.

Check out the local shops and cafés nearby before heading to the viewpoint. I found some great pastries to enjoy while I took in the view!

You gotta take a walk around the gardens before or after checking out the view! I found some nice spots to chill and snap pics without all the hustle.

parking can be a pain around the area (trust me, i circled like three times!), so consider using public transport or just walking if you’re near a subway station.

Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes! The park is huge, and you’ll end up walking a lot. I made the mistake of wearing sandals – not fun!
