4/5 herm d. 2 years ago on Google
I
turned
up
at
the
Jeronimos
Monastery
early
on
Sunday
to
beat
the
crowds.
Ha
ha!
I
was
at
the
end
of
a
50m
line
then
I
realised
I
had
to
join
another
line
first
to
buy
a
ticket!
I
gave
up
and
strolled
across
to
the
Tropical
Botanical
Garden
where
it
was
free
entry
and
I
had
it
almost
to
myself.
What
a
result!
The
first
thing
to
say
as
a
garden
loving
Brit
is
this
is
more
a
pleasure
garden
than
a
botanical
garden.
There
are
plenty
of
fabulous
trees
and
shrubs
but
little
in
the
way
of
labelling
or
descriptions
to
learn
more
about
them.
The
Botanical
Garden
of
downtown
Lisbon
is
the
place
for
that.
But
the
garden
is
well
laid
out
and
beautifully
maintained.
There
was
a
Alice
in
Wonderland
themed
inflatable
show
on
in
March
2022
which
seemed
strange
for
a
botanical
garden
but
maybe
they
want
to
draw
in
the
kiddos.
The
avenues
of
palms
are
impressive
as
were
the
peacocks
showing
off
to
impress
the
females.
At
zero
euros
all
in
all
a
grand
morning
out.
PS.
A
plant
identification
app
like
SEEK
overcomes
the
lack
of
labels.
