Quinta das Conchas

Quinta das Conchas, the most commonly used name for a park that includes Quinta das Conchas, Mata (the woods) and Quinta dos Lilases (a 16th-century mansion) is 24 hectares, making it the third-biggest park in the country – Monsanto is the largest and Parque da Bela Vista the second-largest. Whether you feel like having a picnic, napping under a tree, reading Time Out in a café or letting the kids run loose to guarantee yourself a good night’s sleep, you can do it here. There are tables and benches under the eucalyptus, a playground for toddlers, a café and a restaurant.
