We spent about an hour and a half there and it felt, not to sound too corny, kind of magical. Maybe I was expecting the place to be a disappointment so when I actually got there it had a head start. It's a great place to go to get you away from the overly crowded Chiado area.

The peacocks roaming around were a nice touch, I encountered a lemon tree, a banana tree, and a massive rubber tree. And I definitely need to return in the summer when the plants are in bloom.

The butterfly house is closed Monday and during holidays as well. It means that you don't have a chance to see any butterfly during summertime. Nice if you are looking for a peaceful place for a romantic kiss under bamboo or huge trees.

I have seen a handful of botanical gardens in my day, and this one is not particularly spectacular…read more I would love to be able to say more about this place, but it was just not very interesting. There are signs saying what each plant or tree is, but there is no further information about them. There isn't much variation either, or if there is, it isn't apparent. The bed area up top was somewhat nondescript, though there is a fountain. The greenhouse had a special display of plants from the time of dinosaurs, but it wasn't set up to be particularly enthralling. Moving down the hill you come across more trees, a succulent garden, and what is supposed to be a couple of ponds. We were there in May and they were empty. The butterfly house was also closed. It's a nice green area, but the images that come to mind when I think of a botanical garden do not fit what is here, which is really just a glorified shady park-like area. Luckily the entrance fee of €2 per adult is not terrible, so see it if you want. But my tip would be to check out the dozens of other beautiful (and free!) parks throughout Lisbon ahead of this one.

We didn't plan to visit this tropical garden in the Belem area because we had limited time and…read morethere are so many nice places to go. But we couldn't resist it because the garden staff was so warm and welcoming. I am not only talking about the regular staff at the ticket kiosk who answered our questions patiently, but also the animal staff. When we passed by the entrance, several bird staff came up and walked around us cheerfully and kept talking. I couldn't understand their language but by the way they spoke, I felt very welcomed and would feel bad if not following them to enter. Soon in the garden, the kitty staff ran a long way towards me enthusiastically and offer himself for touching. He also accompanied us to walk around for a long way until he had to stop to poo. No worries, we understand that you have your own business to mind and thanks for your company! It's a very beautiful garden with a variety of tropical plants and the garden map illustrates where they are. This garden is also very big and if you have limited time in this neighborhood, the Ajuda garden up to the hill is also a great choice as it has a lot of exotic plants especially with a variety of smells and the garden is specially designed for blind people to enjoy.
