Jardim das Amoreiras (Amoreiras Garden), Lisbon

Jardim das Amoreiras (Amoreiras Garden), Lisbon

Situated in close proximity to the Amoreiras Shopping Center and mere steps away from the charming 1920s-style Procópio bar, lies this wondefully designed garden—a true hidden gem. Its boundaries are defined by the imposing presence of the colossal Aqueduct, which shelters a chapel beneath its majestic arches, as well as a superb small contemporary museum that showcases the extraordinary works of 20th-century artists Árpád Szenes and Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. If these attractions alone do not provide sufficient incentive for an entire afternoon's sojourn, the cherry on top is the quintessentially 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 has the flair of a by-gone era, with ornate benches and other structures adorning the landscape. Enveloped by a cobbled road and traditional low-rise buildings, the park itself offers respite from the sun's rays, providing a cool and inviting sanctuary. Additionally, tucked away within this shaded haven, you'll also find a small but very nice little playground., offering a joyful space for younger visitors to frolic and play.

All in all, a lovely spot for relaxation, offering the added convenience of being open 24/7.
