A 19th-century romantic landscaped park set high above the Douro river on the grounds of the former Crystal Palace. Terraces planted with mature linden and magnolia trees step down towards the water, framing vistas of the Arrábida Bridge and Vila Nova de Gaia. Peacocks roam freely along quiet pathways, and themed garden rooms feature roses and rare shrubs. A peaceful retreat with some of Porto's finest sunset views.

- Peacocks strolling through shaded alleys
