The parks and gardens in Porto are perfect for you to relax with your family on a sunny afternoon or for a romantic walk with your partner, to watch the sunset. These are versatile spaces, most of them free of charge, that will certainly reinvigorate you during your stay in Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the best parks and gardens in Porto?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many parks and gardens in Porto and its surroundings, but I decided to write about the ones with a medium – large size, and exclude the tiny ones that exist in the city centre and those are not so nice to go for a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parque de Serralves<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I have already written several times here, my very favourite park in Porto is definitely Serralves. This park is quite large and it was designed in such a way that there is always a tree blossoming at any time of the year.
Serralves park has lakes, clear paths were you can ride a baby stroller and… horses, sheeps and cows! \ud83d\ude42 It also has a Treetop Walkway, right next to the tree canopy, that will give you an opportunity to observe the biodiversity of Serralves Park high above the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great thing at Serralves in that, besides the beautiful park, it has a magnificent contemporary museum designed by Siza Vieira<\/a>. Inside this museum, you have spacious art galleries but also a bookshop, a caf\u00e9, a library and a large restaurant with a view towards the park.
With so many different spaces within the same place, I believe that spending an afternoon at Serralves is one of the best things to do in Porto for couples as well as for families with kids.

How to get there:<\/strong> buses 201 (stop SRV1), 203 (stop SRV2), and 207 (stop SRVM1).

Tickets to Serralves:<\/strong> You can get an online ticket<\/a>, which gives you access to the museum and to the park. It’s pretty convenient – you don’t need to print the voucher, just show it on your mobile! Don’t forget that children [13-18] and adults >65 years old get 50% discount on the online ticket to Serralves \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
