Fodor's Expert Review Jardim Botânico de Lisboa
Avenida da Liberdade, Príncipe Real, and Restauradores
Garden
Lisbon's main botanical garden was first laid out in 1874 to teach students about botany, and is still part of the University of Lisbon. Hidden behind the small Museu de História Natural about 2 km (1 mile) north of the Bairro Alto, the garden has 10 acres of paths through nearly 15,000 species of subtropical plants.
