We asked our taxi driver to take us to the botanical gardens & we ended up at Parque Eduardo VII botanical greenhouses, rather than Jardim Botanico. Although we were initially disappointed, we decided to go in anyway. We were pleasantly surprised, there are 3 "greenhouses"; hot, cold & sweet - but they're not traditional glasshouses, & although it was a little humid in the "hot" house, it was never uncomfortable. The areas were almost empty of people & there are plenty of benches to sit & relax & take in the beautiful surroundings. Outside of the botanical areas is a lovely landscaped lake & gardens, another great place to find a shady spot & chill. The park extends all the way to Avenue Liberdade, with striking monuments & formal areas.

The park is not too large that you can't navigate around it but the views are worth it. It is right off the Marques de Pombal metro and where all the tour buses stop, so easy to get too. A quick walk from there takes you to the top of the park where you can view all the way down the main street in Lisbon to the waterfront. Maybe some of the best views in the city. Definitely recommend the visit.

The park is a wide slope becoming interesting mainly on the rising right side with statues, a baroque church and an upmarket garden restaurant. Sheltered outdoors tennis courts take up the other side, the small botanical garden is almost hidden in the uppermost corner. The local metro station on a side street is elegant.

This is a huge park and it is sited in the middle of the city. On a steep hillside, so the good strategy is to start at the top and walk downhill. Some nice flower beds, great views of the lower city, ends at the big traffic circle. All the tour buses come here to park.

This park was located literally across the street from our hotel in Lisbon. It was a convenient and enjoyable alternative route to reach the Gray Line meeting point at its southern end where several of our tours started from. The park is one of the larger greenspaces in central Lisbon at some 64 acres in size. It is rectangular stretching north/ north east from the Marques De Pombal and Av. Da Liberdade. It is named in honour of King Edward VII of England after his visit to Portugal in 1903 to strengthen ties between the two countries and reaffirm their ancient alliance. The present design of the park dates from 1945. There are several structures in the park. On its eastern side near the Parque Metro Station is the Pavilhao Carlos Lopes (Carlos Lopes Pavilliion). This was built in 1922 as the Portuguese Pavilion for the International Exposition in Brazil and later transported to Lisbon. At present it is used for various private events. At the north end of the park on Almaeda Cardeal Cerejeira is the Miradouro Parque Eduardo VII an observation point that provides a sweeping view of the City of Lisbon and the Tagus River. South of this on the western edge of the park is the Estufa Fria a massive greenhouse divided into three distinct parts: Estufa Frie ( Cold Greenhouse), Estufa Quente ( Hot Greenhouse), and Estufa Doce (Sweet Greenhouse). The greenhouse originally opened in 1933 and was completely remodeled in 2011. The park is the site of the annual Lisbon Book Fair held in May and June since the 1930s. The park also is host to the Wonderland Lisboa a Christmas market with activities for children. Aside from these annual events the park attracts hundreds of locals daily to jog, walk their dogs or just enjoy its natural beauty.

A lovely park with vast views, a stunning pavilion and plenty of places to relax in the sun or shade. Well connected to the vintage tram 24 route (near the top) and Marques de Pombal metro (near the bottom). It slopes ... a lot.

Lucky for us we always found ourselves walking through the park down towards the Marquis of Pombal statue. The slope was gradual but down is always better than having to walk up! The park was quiet and surprised us with its size. It had its own metro station entrance, a botanical park, and a maze of well manicured bushes that some athletic dogs were leaping over and over! Unfortunately we never did get to see the views from the top of the park as we always visited in the evening. Lighting was good and plentiful so we had no qualms about walking through it.

Lovely big green space that happened to be hosting an equally massive book fair when we were there. Lots of lovely mature trees with benches to sit under their dappled shade and watch the world go by. The mini maze hedge could do with a tidy trim. Estufa Fria botanical garden at one end and a gentle slope to the statue Marques de Pombal statue at the other. Doubt many venture here from the very centre but it is worth a visit just to stand and stare and look back to the city.

Nice green space overlooking part of Lisbon. The park commemorates the visit of Edward VII of UK to Portugal in 1903. It also contains the huge columns commemerating a visit or Queen Elizabeth

My wife and I were here on a Gate1 tour. While the City bus tour took us here, we also went on our own 2 days later. Then we saw the 2-week Book Fair, which was interesting. We saw dogs splashing around in the heat, with their owners.
