Monsanto Forest Park
No reviews yet
Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon's largest green space, on the hills above Belém and Alcântara, with genuinely forested trails that offer the cover the central gardens lack. Activity centres on the Parque de Merendas picnic area and is busiest on weekend evenings. You will need a car or taxi — there is no metro. Public cruising is not permitted under Portuguese law, so be discreet.
Getting there
On the hills above Belém and Alcântara. There is no metro. A car or a taxi is the realistic way in, with the Parque de Merendas picnic area as the reference point.
When it's active
Weekend evenings.
What to know
Public cruising is not permitted under Portuguese law. The forest is the cover the central gardens do not have, and it is also easy to get lost in.
