Discover Lisbon’s nature

In the heart of this city the Monsanto Park and protected area gives visitors an opportunity to relax and take a walk in this green paradise. This forest park area was created during a reforestation program in Lisbon, thus putting the start to an interesting mix of ecosystems. Today, the park is a preferred location for a quick escape from the busy Lisbon streets.

Another protected area nearby the city center is the Tagus Estuary Natural Reserve. The estuary is the largest in Europe, while its wetland is the largest in Portugal; it is home to numerous water species and especially to birds. This wetland is a popular resting spot for migrating birds on their way from/to Africa. One of the most interesting periods for a visit to the Tagus Estuary is during autumn when flamingoes rest here on their way to the African continent.

A short drive from Lisbon, located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, the Arriba Fossil da Costa de Caparica protected area welcomes visitors from all over the world. This protected area includes a series of fossil cliffs from about 10 million years ago. This area has an interesting history which local guides will be more than happy to share. If you have the opportunity, try to visit at dusk as this is the best time to view the rock formations in their full glory. The golden rays of the sun reflect on and emphasize the natural beauty of this protected area.
