Jardim da Estrela

A beautiful park in the heart of Lisbon which has a lovely cafe at its southern entrance. Just across the road com the southern entrance is a beautiful church with dome. If you are able to spend 4 euros and climb a narrow staircase with 108 stairs of marble you get a marvellous view of the city of Lisbon

Most beautiful garden. Such a magical place! Every time I visit I feel grateful for the experience. Super cheap for such an amazing time you can get there

Beautiful spacious garden with lots of clean benches you can rest or have a picnic, or just read a book. It’s also a great place to people and dog watch. Lots of interesting dogs walk passed us. The trees are huge and stunning and there are stone sculptures around too.

Lovely small park! There’s benches, some shade, public toilets, caffe, perfect place to ketch a breath.

Built in the style of English gardens and opened in 1852, this park is located in the north-east of the Estrela region. Although its official name was later changed to Jardim Guerra Junqueiro, people prefer the name Jardim da Estrela in daily use. In this lush and pleasant park, there are various sculptures, ponds, seating areas and children's playgrounds, as well as interesting trees and plants. In the middle of the park, there is a gazebo that looks very harmonious with the park. One of the six entrance gates of the park is located directly opposite the Basilica of Estrela. If you are making a touristic trip, you can visit these two spots one after the other. We enjoyed visiting the park in the evening after leaving the church.

This Garden is a good relaxing place where many locals enjoy the atmosphere, take a coffee or just sit. Several places allowing open air exercise. “Jardim da Estrela” later renamed “Jardim Guerra Junqueiro” (name of a Portuguese Politician, Writer and Journalist 1850 -1923, was inaugurated in 1852.

Great park, lovely views. Great for picnics or just to walk. Lovely place in the middle of the city

I love coming here, sitting on a park bench and listening to life happening all around me.

Sightseeing in Lisbon isn't easy. Lisbon is one of the hilliest cities I've ever been to. It's not quite San Francisco but it's in the running. After a long day of walking around, my legs and feet felt like spaghetti. That's why it's nice to take a break throughout the day and relax a little bit. That's exactly what I did at Jardim de Estrela. This is a large park with plenty of trails, vegetation, and benches. I took advantage of the beauty and meditated here. Beyond the sights, there are several statues throughout the park to check out and learn some history. There are also a bunch of ducks and geese that hang out by the lake. The geese are huge! I'm not sure what they feed them in Portugal but we're talking mutant geese. If you're willing to hang out with mutant geese, this is a relaxing spot to spend some time at.

We loved this place! We were going to the Estrela church but mass was just beginning so we walked across the street and found this charming park. It was raining, so it was just us, the ducks and geese and a few dog walkers. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The trees here are enormous and beautiful. It's a lovely place to sit and relax. Plenty of places to stop for coffee and plenty of sculptures to admire.

Beautiful gardens to stroll after a meal or to get a little shade. There are plenty of places to sit and relax as well as a couple of little cafes for food and drinks. There are also places for kids to climb and play and water fountains for drinking. The grounds are kept up well and you can smell wonderful wafts of honeysuckle blowing in the air.

A botanical treasure trove. Very peaceful on a beautiful warm sunny day. Need to relax? You will here.

Beautiful place! I habe been here several times to just sit on a bench and read a book. There are a few little Cafes to sit outside as well. If you are lucky you will see the guy on his bike, listening to loud music while driving around in the park:))
