Navigating Lisbon with a Stroller: Best Parks and Walks

Lisbon’s hilly terrain and cobbled streets can be a challenge, but there are plenty of stroller-friendly routes and parks:

Eduardo VII Park: This centrally located park is mostly flat, with paved paths and a large playground. It’s perfect for a morning walk or afternoon picnic.

Belém Riverside Promenade: The riverside area in Belém is flat and wide, making it ideal for strollers. Enjoy a leisurely walk past iconic sights like the Belém Tower and MAAT museum.

Gulbenkian Gardens: Lush, tranquil, and full of ducks and turtles—these gardens are a peaceful retreat for families. The paths are stroller-accessible, and there are shaded benches for feeding or nursing.

Monsanto Forest Park: For families seeking a nature escape, Monsanto offers paved trails and picnic spots. Some areas are hilly, so check the map for the flattest routes.

Travel 4 Baby Tip: Bring a lightweight, compact stroller for Lisbon’s public transport and occasional steps. Many metro stations have elevators, but it’s best to check ahead.
