The Gulbenkian Garden, located in the center of Lisbon next to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, is one of the most emblematic green spaces of modern Portuguese urbanism. It was designed in the 1960s by landscape architects Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles and António Viana Barreto and inaugurated in 1969.

Hiking
Very nice park with small ponds, various niches and benches. There are tiny paths around the ponds (but with small steps; so nothing for wheelchair users), from which you can watch turtles, fish and ducks.

Hiking
The Gulbenkian Garden is an oasis of nature and peacefulness in the city of Lisbon, the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The garden's history goes back several centuries: it began as a recreational farm (in the 18th century), became Santa Gertrudes Park (in the 19th century) and, years later, became Lisbon's first Zoo. In the 20th century, the Zoo became a local fair, and later the venue was acquired by the Gulbenkian Foundation. Thus, was born the Gulbenkian Garden, a project by landscape architects António Viana Barreto and Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles.
