Parks
The Grass is always greener in Lisbon. When the sun is out and the birds are singing there is no better place than the Portuguese capital to spend a day outside. Below is a list of some of my favorite parks.
Jardim Franca Borges
Praça Principe Real

Jardim do Gulbenkian
Great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, or just to lay in the grass and make out. A large lake and streams run thoughout this park that sits between 2 museums. Coy fish, bamboo shrowded trails and modern art make this place a special day out.
Avenida de Berna, 45A
Praça de Espana
Everyday
Free
Jardim de Sao Pedro de Alcantara
Split level viewing point near the bairro alto. The top level is adorned with a fountain, cafe, and benches. The bottom level has a beautiful cut out lawn in typical imperial Lisbon style. Also a calming grotto with running water. During the day a picture of calm and at night the cafe on the plaza plays audible but not loud electronic music.
Rua de São Pedro de Alcantara
Bairro Alto

Jardim do Estrela
With the Basilica da Estrella in the background, this is a perfect place to take a book and enjoy the day among the trees and grass. Plenty of space for the kids to play and small enough to keep an eye on them. In the summer they have lots of live music, fairs and outdoor movie cycles.
Praça da Estrella
Everyday 7h-24h
Free
Estufa Fria
Perfect for an anventurous romantic walk in the center of the city. Full of large and small plants, some exotic and some local varieties. It´s split into a Cold House, a Hot house and a Cacti House. After exploring the stone paths, small lakes and waterfalls head up to the top od Parque eduardo VII for a breathtaking view of downtown Lisbon and the river.
Parque Eduardo VII
Marques de Pompal
9h-17h
admin: 1.50 euros
Miradouro de Santa Catarina
This is one of our favorite viewing points in the city of Lisbon. While it is small grassy knoll could hardly classify it as a park, when the sun is out this viewing point fills up with people of all ages and backgrounds who want to take in the suns rays, have a beer, and maybe break out their guitar.
Adamastor

Baixa/Chiado Metro
Parque Das Naçoes
In many parts of the world former World Expo sites are lain to waste once the celebrations end and are monuments to bad city planning. Not in Lisbon. The site of the 98 Expo is still bustling with people and a great place to get out and stretch your legs. This much needed public space opens up along the river Tejo, now know as the Parque of Nations. Besides the Ocenarium , it has gardens with giant percussion nstruments and similar hands on playthings. Theres a climing wall, a bird refuge, and many cafes and other activities such as bike rentals, a train and pedal boat hire.

Parque Florestal de Monsanto
190 mile of walking and cycling trails and seveal playgrounds. This huge park hugs southern Lisbon with its green blanket of trees. The most popular is the hilltop Parque Recreativo Alto Serafina, an adveture park near the Roman Aquaduct. It is loaded with Picnic areas, kids driving circuit, climing walls, boats , running track and restaurant. On the other side of the forest , the Parque Infantil de Alvito has several safe and fun play areas for children of all ages.

then take any of these buses: 70, 24, 723, 727, or 732
Drugs
While we here at WeHateTourismTours do not condone the use of drugs while visiting the Portuguese capital, we do know drugs exists, and believe a little information can go along way to having a safe visit.
Drug consumption in Portugal is discrete, and if you are going to "light up" or anything else make sure you follow this etiquette. Never "smoke" indoors or at bars or clubs.
The Law
Personal consumption is no longer a criminal offense in Portugal. "Personal consumption" is defined by quantity. The law rather vaguely states that you can have in your possession enough for personal use for a few days. If you decide you need to carrying anything on you the best best is to have a little as possible.
Do not buy drugs from anyone that approaches you on the streets, especially in the Baixa and Bairro Alto areas.
Again, to be completely safe you should avoid the use of drugs all together while visiting our beautiful Portuguese city.
