• A long uphill slope runs from Marquês de Pombal to the viewpoint at the top, so pushing a stroller up the central lawn takes effort
• Estufa Fria greenhouse in the northwest corner has streams, waterfalls, palms and cacti under cover
• Lisbon Book Fair takes over the park once a year, so expect stalls and crowds while it runs

Eduardo VII Park covers 26 hectares on a slope above Marquês de Pombal, with a long central lawn framed by clipped hedges and a straight view down Avenida da Liberdade to the Tagus. Tree-lined paths run along both sides, past lakes, a kiosk and a children's playground.

At the top is a viewpoint where a giant Portuguese flag usually flies. The Estufa Fria greenhouse fills the northwest corner.
