Tapada das Necessidades

ParkLocal favourite

A walled 10-hectare royal park of 1742 behind the Necessidades palace, open to the public since the Republic of 1910; slightly wild and in need of restoration, it is where Lapa and Alcântara residents walk under old trees, a park few visitors find behind its walls.
