Jardim do Torel

I went here for the first time after 4 and half years living in Lisbon. It's beautiful, very Lisboet.

We came to see the interplanetary alignment of Feb 28th 2026 with a friend, and it was nice. We managed to see Jupiter and Venus clearly. Saturn and Uranus weren't visible, but we saw them through and app.

Good for picnics. It was very cold tonight, but in summer this is a golden spot.

Come try for yourselves!

Our final stop was Canil Marques where Tom had found that it served up a wide variety of affordable craft beers. Enroute, Kate designed a route that passed by Jardim do Torel with beautiful views over the city of Lisbon. It is said to be one of the best kept secrets of Lisbon with its broad view of the Avenida da Liberdade and São Roque hill – home to the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara. Jardim do Torel is also surrounded by a garden and grand 18th- and 19th-century houses which makes it a great spot. The wide flat patio a level down provides the best views in our opinion. Do note that there’s opening and closing hours of the gardens – check before you head over. A well-hidden gem in Lisbon!

Probably the best public park in Porto.
Stunning views, interesting old trees and pathways.
The place is really big, and worth spending a whole afternoon exploring it.
I highly recommend visiting.

Jardim do Torel - Where K-Pop Meets Quiet Romance and the Trees Whisper in Harmony

With Dion humming “APT” like it’s the soundtrack to our lives, we made our way to Jardim do Torel, a firm local favourite and, as it turns out, a filming location for NewJeans’ “Super Shy”. If you’re going to chase K-pop vibes in Lisbon, this is the place to do it - with less glitter, more greenery, and a whole lot of charm.

Nestled in a stately, upmarket parish, the garden feels like a secret lookout - overlooking the city and the river, with just enough elevation to make you feel like you’ve earned the view. On the Saturday morning we visited, the park was alive but gentle with older couples sitting romantically on benches, picnic baskets unpacked with care, and the breeze rustling through the trees like nature’s own ballad.

It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and let the city hum below you while you hum along to your own tune. Whether you’re chasing K-pop filming locations or just looking for a quiet moment with someone you like, Jardim do Torel delivers.

Verdict: A peaceful perch above Lisbon, perfect for romantic mornings, picnic afternoons, and soft soundtracks. Highly recommended for view seekers, K-pop fans, and anyone who believes a garden should come with a breeze and a bench.

One of my favorite gardens in Lisboa. It looks to other viewpoints and it is chiller than other spots in city due to the trees up here. Good view, chill vibes, only a few people with their dogs and children; lovely atmosphere overall!
