Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian FoundationJardim da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian

#mytraveldiary Whenever I need a break from Lisbon’s busy streets, Gulbenkian Park is my first choice. It’s large enough to find a quiet corner for reading or sketching, but still compact and easy to explore in an hour. The gardens blend modern design with natural beauty, and the ponds are full of wildlife. I even spotted a few red-eared turtles basking in the sun. It’s also right next to the Gulbenkian Museum, which makes it perfect for combining art and nature in one trip. I recommend visiting in spring, when the flowers are in bloom and the whole park feels alive. #GulbenkianGarden
