Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian
One of the symbols of the city of Lisbon, the Gulbenkian Garden was designed by the landscape architects Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles and António Viana Barreto and finished in 1969. As there are many beaches, deciduous trees, in the garden, you have the perfect excuse to visit the place and to appreciate the falling leaves, which announce the arrival of Autumn.
Avenida da Liberdade
A tourist hardly misses the Avenida da Liberdade, one of the city’s most active streets, considered the Champs-Elysées of Portugal. It was constructed between 1879 and 1886 and by that time it was called Passeio Público. Today it is a place which hosts many festivities and demonstrations, as well as offices, internationally renowned shops, and centenary trees as well. In Autumn, their leaves cover the cobblestones and you can enjoy this phenomenon on a bench or in one of the many terraces you can find between Marquês and Restauradores.
Parque Florestal de Monsanto
This park is considered the lung of Lisbon, as it has a great diversity of fauna and flora. With so many trees, it is the perfect place to visit during Autumn in Lisbon, to relax and take a walk outside.
Jardim da Estrela
Located in the heart of Lisbon, it’s a place perfect for families, as it has a nice playground where children can have fun, as well as an excellent space for picnics and friendly conversations. The garden has two terraces if you wish to eat or drink something there.
