• Saturday mornings only, and the stalls pack up at 2pm, so plan it as a morning stop
• Playground in the same garden, a few steps from the stalls, so kids can play while you shop
• Other markets on other weekends: the garden also hosts an antiques and crafts fair on the last Saturday and Monday of the month, and a gourmet food market on the first Friday and Saturday

A weekly organic farmers' market under the trees of Jardim do Príncipe Real, where producers from across Portugal sell fresh fruit, vegetables and other produce from their own farms.

Kids can choose fruit at the stalls and taste what's in season, then head to the garden's playground a few steps away. It suits a slow morning outing; there are no rides or kids' activities.
