Traveler reviews
Putri Dumadi
★★★★★6 months agoNice green park in the city center of Porto. Kids and pet friendly. Tall trees and surrounded by buildings, there are benches for you to rest.
Rita
★★★★★a month agoI passed by this garden few times and it looked great from the main road where I was walking. The road leads me straight to Campo de 24 Agosto in Porto. I saw a small field of basketball, a small garden for dogs, and there should be more things inside the garden. You can visit for free. It opens 24 hours.
