Directions

Lisbon's largest green lung, Monsanto is a vast forested park covering the hills west of the city with pine and eucalyptus woods, hiking and mountain biking trails, and sweeping panoramic viewpoints over the Tagus. It's the go-to escape for locals who want genuine nature without leaving the city. Trails vary in difficulty and some areas are poorly signposted, so downloading a trail map beforehand is strongly recommended. Avoid going alone at night.
