Where
Vandelli Botanical Garden
Calçado do Galvão E
1400-171 Lisboa, Portugal
Situated within the Botanical Garden of Ajuda, it is an oasis in the middle of Lisbon. The garden is named after its Italian creator, Domenico Vandelli, who in 1768 completed the garden’s plans under the orders of Marquês de Pombal and King D. José I. It was the first botanical garden in Portugal designed with the aim of maintaining, studying, and collecting as many species of the plant world as possible. The gardens and the greenhouses create an idyllic setting with their neoclassic architecture.
The closest train station is Belém (20 minute walk) and therefore it is best to take a taxi directly to the location.
