2. Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga Gardens
Go past the museum rooms and step straight into a riverside dream. The garden is simple but impossibly graceful: stone balustrades overlooking the water, orange trees perfuming the air, and peacocks moving with theatrical slowness. Sit here with a pastry, watching the river trade glimmers with the late sun. Time dilates.

3. Rua das Farinhas in Mouraria
A narrow street where every day Lisbon reveals itself like a whispered secret. You’ll cross paths with neighbors chatting from window to window, a seamstress working by the door, the smell of home-cooked spices traveling softly behind you. The street is small, but it holds whole worlds of lives. Beautiful in its simplicity.

4. Jardim do Príncipe Real
A garden that feels like a sophisticated living room under the sky. At its center, an umbrella-shaped cedar stretches its arms like an ancient guardian, shading lovers, readers, and daydreamers. Around it, kiosks, cafés, and graceful buildings wrap the square in gentle elegance. On warm evenings, everything glows.

5. The Path from Cais do Sodré to Santos (Riverside Stroll)
Walk this path just before twilight. The river turns silver, the air becomes warm and salty, and Lisbon seems to hum in a deeper, slower register. People sit on the stone edge; cyclists slide past in soft blurs. The city doesn’t ask anything of you here—it just lets you drift beside the water.

Lisbon is a city best explored slowly, with room to notice the details—sun-warmed tiles, distant music, the way the river reflects the sky. And if you want to move between these beautiful corners with comfort and ease, Lisbon Taxi is an effortless way to glide through the city without breaking the spell. A smooth ride, a local touch, and more time to enjoy the moments that make Lisbon unforgettable.

Come with us as we explore the 5 Best Parks in Lisbon!

1. The Nations Park (or Parque das Nacoes) is a symbol of the Portuguese capital city. Located in the eastern side of the city, this amazing park was the place where the “Expo 98” International Exhibition was held and offers the best view over the Vasco da Gama Bridge (Ponte Vasco da Gama). The Oceanarium, the pavilions with open exhibitions, rides on bike or walks along the river, but also having a drink or dinner at one of the finest Lisbon restaurants located nearby are among the things you can do here.

2. The Belem Palace Gardens offers you the opportunity to visit the Museum and the Palace in Belem – which is another “must-see” in Lisbon. There is a network of gardens to explore, but we mainly advise visiting the Main Gardens, the Orangery, the Waterfall and the the Lime Tree Garden.

3. The Zoo also counts as a garden – only an awesome one with animals! This is definitely the best place to take your family and kids. Apart from 16 species of gibbons and lots of the usual animals you are likely to find in a zoo, children love the sea lion and dolphin shows.

4. The Botanical Garden is another stop for any lover of plants – and Portugal abounds in the most interesting species!

5. The Estrella Park is the best stop for romantics, having been built in the 19th century. In the company of birds singing and surrounded by exotic vegetation, it is also the place to take a coffee or a light pleasant meal with your loved one.

If you want to visit all these places, even in just one day, you can ask for an on-demand service with Lisbon taxi!
