Monsanto Forest Park

#mytraveldiary What makes Monsanto Forest Park so special is its diversity. There are dense forests, open clearings, picnic tables, children’s playgrounds, and even old military ruins hidden among the trees. Every visit feels different depending on which path you take. I once biked through the trails and ended up at a viewpoint overlooking the whole city—it was breathtaking. The air is fresh, and you hear more birds than cars, which is amazing considering how close you are to the center. It’s the best place in Lisbon if you want a real nature break without taking a long trip. #LisbonNature
