    Praça da Alegria (also called Alfredo Keil Garden) is located just to the west of Ave. da Liberdade. You will also find a nice double chalice water fountain and circular basin, traditional Portuguese style cobblestone surfacing as well as some tall and attractive trees providing significant shade. There is also a bust monument of Alfredo Keil (1930), composer and author of the National Anthem of Portugal along with children's playground and kiosk selling drinks and light snacks. During our visit, a craft market was being held on the square as well.

    It's a cute little park which isn't very crowded. You can go there to walk your pet and if you have children, they can play on the slide and swing. There are benches to sit around the fountain and also Cafe Bagel to enjoy a cup of coffee ☕ :)

    Praça da Alegria is a small, tranquil park and garden in downtown Lisbon, Portugal just a block up a small incline road from Avenida da Liberdade. The charm of this place is its dominating large stone round pool with bronze fountain spraying water into the pool. The beautiful garden includes mature trees, greenery, shrubs and flowers, and it seems to have very few visitors, perhaps because it's slightly off the beaten path. There are several stone benches surounding the fountain area where you can relax and meditate, away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads and squares of Lisbon. I was very delighted to discover that this park has its own free WiFi, which was both welcome and strong.

    Beautiful park. Trees are awesome. I rate with 2 stars only because there is a kiosk with snacks and drinks. Tenants cough and sneeze while preparing food without proper sanitizing , also they do NOT wash the vases, silver, plates,etc. They only rinse with plain water. To my this is highly un acceptable. I do not recommend to have prepared food, ask only for beer on a bottle and packed snacks.

    Took there time to prepare food got a funny feeling that they forgot to to cook it when you consider 2 other couples order the same thing and got there before us my wife had to ask again and they said they are waiting for the kitchen in the hotel across the road to say it was really but 10 minutes later they came out of the hotel with the food

    I'm a beautiful small garden and park, concerts, a childrens' playground and a lovely fountain make this a very enjoyable setting for a great cafe with food from the restaurant across the street. A very good Caesar's Salad and a delicious Black Rice were two dishes we thoroughly enjoyed. Good prices, too!

    Lovely garden just west of the Avenida de Liberdade. Beautiful large trees, grassy areas and a central water fountain. Small kiosk and some park benches avaliable. Very clean and well looked after. Great place to relax after a long day of site seeing.

    Praça da Alegria (Square of Happiness), also known as Jardim de Alegria (Garden of Happiness), is a square in Santo António, Lisbon, next to Avenida da Liberdade and 10 minutes walking distance from Lisboa's Botanical Garden. - The square has a central terraced area occupied by the Alfredo Keil Garden - a small garden with a romantic design, exotic vegetation, a lake with a fountain, and a refreshment kiosk. - I recommend visiting in the evening to enjoy a cool drink while listening to the local guest bands.

  • 5/5 Light F. 6 months ago on Google • 63 reviews
    A great place for a quiet coffee break in the city center. Soothing fountain water splashes, doves looking for food, a nice cafe booth with tables and lots of benches to find a shady place for feet rest.

  • 5/5 Mr. M. 7 months ago on Google • 43 reviews

    This "artisan" fair is in a beautiful park. However, the majority of the goods sold were the same souvenirs found in many of the street shops. They seemed, primarily, mass-produced.

  • 5/5 Luke D. 1 year ago on Google
    nice quaint park. During Santos populares has nice vibes. The hotel Alegria has a great restaurant.

  • 3/5 Travis R. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful praça, but it’s plagued with flies all summer after Santos festival in June, during which there’s a month of grilled sardines and whole roasted pigs being offered here. The best time is spring because plants are green and the flies haven’t arrived yet.

    (Translated by Google) Circular square with a small playground, green areas and a kiosk. I live nearby and I personally love this square. It is located near Avenida da Liberdade, but it has the tranquility that the avenue does not have and green areas to walk animals. It has quite a few hours of sunshine and has very good restaurants in the surroundings. In addition, it is also close to Príncipe Real. In summer there are usually people at the kiosk and the atmosphere is very good. (Original) Plaza circular con un pequeño parque infantil, zonas verdes y un quiosco. Vivo cerca y personalmente me encanta esta plaza. Se encuentra cerca de la Avenida da Liberdade, pero cuenta con la tranquilidad que no tiene la avenida y zonas verdes para pasear animales. Tiene bastantes horas de sol y tiene restaurantes muy buenos en los alrededores. Además, se encuentra también cerca de Príncipe Real. En verano suele haber gente en el quiosco y el ambiente es muy bueno.
