    Huge green areas, with lots of room for activities like walking, jogging and cycling. Went on a walk for about 5 hours and couldn't even seen 1/4 of the whole park. It also feels very safe because there's maps and directions scattered all they through the park. Lots of benches to rest as well.

    An immense forest in the heart of Lisbon, with countless paths, trails and quiet streets. Great place to practice outdoor activities, ride a bike, take the kids, have a picnic, skate or even read a book quietly. There is room for everyone! Safe and peaceful.

    The biggest park and forest in the Lisbon area, which is called Lisbon 's lungs which makes air fresh. This park has a lot of paths to walk or walk your dogs, some closed parks with playgrounds for kids, for birthday parties.

  • 5/5 Marina K. 1 year ago on Google
    A huge park which you can visit from multiple sides/neighbourhoods of Lisbon. Has a lot of features such as playgrounds, tables to eat and viewing points(not all worth visiting). I recommend it for a hike or just a walk. You can walk by the street if you prefer. You will not be disappointed by the greenery and the sound of birds. Ps: I was advices by a local to be careful in the park, because some spots are quite dangerous even during the daytime, so please be careful and mindful! Ps: Check the reviews before visiting a view point.

    It is the largest green space in the heart of Lisboa with almost 1000 hectares of woodland. At the Interpretation Center a visitor can get information about the park in the permanent exhibition. Helpful and polite employees will guide you around and help you make the best of your visit. There is a car park and a picnic area in case you feel like enjoying your branch in a delightful natural environment, under the shade of trees.

    Without this place you have no chance to understand Lisbon. Not spectacular, but important and... relaxing.

    (Translated by Google) A "forest" that occupies 1/10 of Lisbon. Excellent space where you can simply enjoy nature or go for a walk or a mountain bike tour. It is definitely a place to visit (Original) Uma "floresta" que ocupa 1/10 de Lisboa. Excelente espaço em que se pode simplesmente apreciar a natureza ou fazer uma caminhada ou um passeio de BTT.

    Monsanto Forest Park is a municipal protected forest in Lisbon, Portugal, the largest green patch in the city, with almost 1000 ha. It offers a well diversified tree-covered area to the Portuguese capital. Many species were introduced in the Monsanto Hills during the reforesting period.

    A lot of the play spaces were cordoned off for repairs/touch ups over winter months. Generally a great park for 2year+ kids to explore. Plenty of different spaces with objects grouped by ages. Gets busy but is a good free park. Limited parking but the overspill car park down the road is only a 3min walk away

    The restaurant had a great layout. We ate before attending an event with a Michael Jackson cover band. My steak was good and a larger portion than I expected. The show was fun though the band was just OK. A wonderful place to enjoy a summer evening.

  • 5/5 Paulo L. 7 months ago on Google
    This is a spacious and nice park. There's plenty of space for different kinds of ages and activities. All kinds of family can enjoy the park and spend almost all day despite being best for young kids. Usually there are many birthday parties because of the reasons above. There's a cafe in the park in case one needs some food or an ice cream. The entrance is free and there's a nearby a park on the trees. This is for small kids too.
