• The giant cypress canopy, trained over an iron frame, makes a wide patch of shade on hot days
• Saturday morning organic market with producers from around Portugal selling fruit and vegetables among the paths
• Antiques and crafts fair on the last Saturday and Monday of each month, so expect stalls and bigger crowds those days

Jardim do Príncipe Real (officially Jardim França Borges) is a leafy garden square at the top of the Príncipe Real area. Its centerpiece is a huge old cypress whose branches are trained over an iron frame into a wide, shady canopy.

Around it are a children's playground, a pond with a fountain, and café kiosks with outdoor tables. A 19th-century water reservoir lies under the garden.
