Best places: Botanical gardens in Barcarena, Portugal

Enduring botanical garden with vintage greenhouses, plus peacocks & other free-roaming birds.

🫤 It is not managed well. You cant go in almost all of the buildings and pond is stinky. Toilet had no soap. Greenhouses were built in 40s and looks like its haunted. Sign said its under restoration but well, it was covered in bushes and nobody was working on it. For 5euro fee? NOT worth it

🫤 Para Jardim, nem mencionando o "Botânico" não é de todo convidativo! Está completamente ao abandono. É apenas um recinto vedado com espécies mais comuns repetidas e plantadas em monte. Fiquei sem perceber o objectivo do espaço.
