Monsanto Forest Park

Monsanto Forest Park

Monsanto Forest Park is a protected forest area located in the western part of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. Established in 1934, it covers an area of 10 square kilometers, making it the largest green space in Lisbon. Loved by locals, it has become the top choice for weekend and holiday outings, offering an ideal place to unwind and relieve stress.

As one of Europe's largest forest parks, it is covered entirely in trees, mainly pines, along with some tree species that are emblematic of Portugal, such as oaks and cork oaks. The park is divided into several different conservation zones and recreational areas, the most famous of which is the ecological garden. This garden is designed to educate visitors about various aspects of the environment, including geology, climate, animals, and plants. This beautifully landscaped forest park is also home to numerous bird species—some local, others migratory—and their melodious songs add vibrant life and music to the park.

The park also provides designated picnic areas for visitors, allowing families to enjoy lunch in a serene setting, savoring delicious meals while taking in the beautiful scenery and listening to cheerful birdsong.
