This is a popular site in Lisbon. It's a big plaza with lots of little shops and restaurants…read morenearby. Three sides of the square are surrounded with bright yellow walls/buildings, while the fourth side of the square is made up by the water! I think that's a cool feature! You enter it through a big, pretty stone arch, and in the very center of the plaza is a statue. When I went, I enjoyed hearing a man sing opera under the arch. It contributed to a nice atmosphere. It felt fitting. I came across this location more than once so it's relatively easy to get to depending on where you are/where you're going. I had sardines for the first time at a restaurant in the plaza, and I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant! They were so good!!! They had a nicer flavor than I expected- mild and salty with maybe a bit of sweetness too. Crispy thin texture on the outside, too. And much larger sized fish than I expected. I was lucky to be there during sardine season/festival, so I'm sure that helped.

This square is full of life! Lots of people, photo displays depending on the holiday (we were there…read morearound Christmas so there was a giant tree and letters), and various cafes to sit outside, street performers and more. Around sunset you'll likely see a stream of people sitting by the river to watch the sky hue up and it's so beautiful. Great spot to wander and take a leisurely stroll.

The park dates back to 1969 which is well after the passing of Calouste Gulbenkian. It is over 19 acres in size and has two lakes inside. Interestingly, the Spanish Embassy used to be here! Lots of walking paths, several sitting areas, lots of spots to just... relax. Entrance to the garden is free. [Review 19006 overall - 204 in Portugal - 2530 of 2022.]

It is a nice space though a bit muddy after the rains. Benches and a garden. This would be a nice spot for a cigar if that's something that you do. From the top of the stairs, there is a decent view of the harbor and the Christo Rei if you can peek between the container cranes. [Review 19037 overall - 232 in Portugal - 6 of 2023.]

We didn't have a problem on Wednesday at noon. 40 euro for umbrella and servers for food and drink. Sparkling sangria was the bomb. Super convenient and to shops, bars and restaurants. Great spot to go in Portugal if you are a beach goer. Minor restaurant snafu brought a cheeseburger when we asked for no cheese. It took some time but the brought that out when another veggie sandwich.! Not needed but nice touch. Thoroughly enjoyed the beach and shops around.

I loved this beach! My friends and I arrived pretty early in the morning, around 830, and were able…read moreto get a great spot close enough to the water and enjoy time before the beach started to get more crowded. The sand was perfect and typically I am not an ocean person. I like pools and fresh water lakes mostly but the water was SO nice at this beach and genuinely so refreshing. I barely even noticed it was salt water. It's located close to a ton of stores and restaurants/cafes and the city of Cascais is just super walkable in general.

After a long day of walking around, my legs and feet felt like spaghetti. That's why it's nice to take a break throughout the day and relax a little bit. That's exactly what I did at Jardim de Estrela. This is a large park with plenty of trails, vegetation, and benches. I took advantage of the beauty and meditated here. Beyond the sights, there are several statues throughout the park to check out and learn some history. There are also a bunch of ducks and geese that hang out by the lake. The geese are huge! I'm not sure what they feed them in Portugal but we're talking mutant geese. If you're willing to hang out with mutant geese, this is a relaxing spot to spend some time at.

It was raining, so it was just us, the ducks and geese and a few dog walkers. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The trees here are enormous and beautiful. It's a lovely place to sit and relax.

We booked to stay at a hotel nearby, and when I saw the words Parque das Nações, I presumed, not…read moreincorrectly, that it means national park. So I was looking for a big swath of greenery and dense wood... and found none. After my Yelp check in, I learned that this used to be an expo location that has been converted to an urban open space for people to chill. It's a nice spot actually, you can walk along the river and enjoy some nice views, although my husband's plan of a daily morning run never materialized, as all the walking in Lisbon took a toll on the legs. Nonetheless, the view is beautiful, and the sculptures along the walk are intriguing. There are plenty of restaurants, as well as some structures that look like concert halls, and at one end there is the shopping center.

Overlooking the water, it's an open area surrounded by flag staffs and concrete pavers leading to the bay. It's right next to the Vasco Gama Center which has a lot of foot traffic resembling a metropolitan skyscraper-filed zone with plenty of city appeal. If you're looking to hug a tree, you should look elsewhere. If you're into open areas where people can gather and stroll around, this might be your spot. My feet were on fire from climbing all those hills up and down all day so I was actually thrilled to see flat terrain for once...and so were my feet. There's nice sculptures and fresh breeze to soak in while overlooking the boasting new metropolis in Lisboa.
