Slip away from the Belém crowds into the Tropical Botanical Garden, a shaded refuge of towering trees and old greenhouses. Follow quiet paths past ponds while peacocks stroll alongside you through the greenery.
Full description
Jardim Botânico Tropical sits in Belém yet draws far fewer visitors than the nearby monuments, which is much of its appeal. Winding paths pass towering tropical trees, ponds and old greenhouses, while peacocks and other birds wander freely underfoot.
A typical visit takes around 75 minutes at an easy-to-medium walking pace, and the modest entry fee keeps it budget-friendly. Reviewers value the cool, leafy calm and its photogenic, slightly faded charm, though some note uneven upkeep and sections closed after heavy rain.
It suits couples and older visitors seeking a slow, shaded stroll.

Reviews
We liked it, but some parts were closed due to the recent rains. It was only 5€ per adult so relatively cheap. Not crowded at all, even tho it’s in Belem. Some parts could use renovations.
