Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation

The Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation is a lush, serene oasis in the heart of Lisbon

The Garden of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation offers a tranquil retreat from the bustling city of Lisbon. Designed by landscape architects Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles and António Viana Barreto, the garden surrounds the Gulbenkian Museum and Modern Art Centre, creating a harmonious blend of art and nature. Expansive lawns, shaded pathways, and diverse plant life provide a picturesque setting for relaxation and leisure. The garden's design encourages biodiversity and features a lake, which is home to various bird species, adding to the serene atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for expats to unwind, enjoy outdoor concerts, and immerse themselves in the cultural offerings of the foundation. The garden also includes an outdoor amphitheater, a children's playground, and a café, making it an ideal location for family outings and social gatherings for the expat community.
