Amoreiras Garden, Lisbon

This wonderfully designed little gem of a garden located close to Amoreiras Shopping Center and steps away from LES SOURCES (a great French restaurant), limited by the physical presence of the massive Aqueduct, which in turn hosts a chapel under its big arches, and having as a neighbor the excellent small contemporary museum showcasing the work of 20th-century artists Árpád Szenes and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. If these are not enough reasons to spend an entire afternoon, then the cherry on top is the typical Portuguese open-air kiosk/bistro serving snacks and beverages in the middle of the cozy garden – often with live music at the weekends.

The whole area feels like a village, surrounded by a cobbled road and low-rise traditional buildings, and inside the shady park you'll also find a small but very nice little playground.
