Edward VII Park, Public park in central Lisbon, Portugal
Description
The green space sits on a slope above the city center, with a wide central lawn flanked by tree-lined paths and hedges arranged in formal symmetry. The grounds rise gradually and open toward a terrace that overlooks the rooftops and the river beyond.
History
The grounds were created in the early 20th century under a different name and renamed after the British monarch's official visit to strengthen diplomatic ties. The pavilion near the entrance was brought from an international exhibition held in Rio de Janeiro and reassembled on this site.
Culture
The Lisbon Book Fair takes place annually in the park, bringing together publishers, writers, and readers for several days of literary events and book sales.
Practical
The grounds are open during daylight hours and offer clear paths for walking or jogging, while the greenhouse complex can be visited separately. On weekends the lawns fill with families and groups relaxing in the sun, so early morning or late afternoon tends to be quieter.
Did you know?
The greenhouse at the lower end shelters tropical plants, small waterfalls and ponds in a humid microclimate that contrasts sharply with the dry summer air outside. Visitors can enter free of charge on Sunday mornings, making it a popular time for local residents.
