About

Jardim da Estrela is one of Lisbon’s most charming parks, offering a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Established in 1852, it features lush gardens, exotic plants, duck ponds, and winding pathways shaded by centuries-old trees. The park is home to an ornate wrought-iron bandstand, which hosts jazz concerts in summer, and a playground popular with families. Across from the main entrance stands the stunning Basílica da Estrela, adding to the park’s picturesque setting. On the first weekend of each month, a crafts and design market brings local artisans to the park, creating a lively atmosphere. Visitors can relax at the café, enjoy a picnic, or simply take in the tranquil surroundings. Easily accessible by tram 28, Jardim da Estrela is a favorite among locals and tourists alike.

Location

Jardim da Estrela, also known as Jardim Guerra Junqueiro, is located at Praça da Estrela 12, 1200-694 Lisboa, in the Estrela district of Lisbon, directly across from the striking Basílica da Estrela, one of the city’s most beautiful churches with its distinctive domed silhouette. This romantic 19th-century park is a favorite among locals and visitors for its lush greenery, winding paths, exotic plants, and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for picnics, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing by the duck ponds and playgrounds. The park’s wrought-iron bandstand, originally from Avenida da Liberdade, hosts occasional concerts and markets, and the on-site café provides a pleasant spot to unwind. Just behind the park, across Rua de São Jorge, lies the historic English Cemetery, the resting place of notable figures like novelist Henry Fielding, author of "Tom Jones," and Thomas Barclay, the first American consul in France. The Estrela neighborhood is known for its affluent residential charm and is well connected by public transport, including trams 25 and 28, which stop right by the park’s entrance, as well as bus 709 from the city center. Within a short walk, you’ll find the Campo de Ourique Market, a popular food hall with a wide selection of local cuisine and fresh produce, and the Marionette Museum, which offers a unique collection of puppets from around the world.
