    Centro de Arte Moderna

    Explore the Centro de Arte Moderna. The museum is open until 21:00 on Saturdays, so you have plenty of time to see the Portuguese art collection before heading out.

    Lisbon Botanical Gardens

    Walk 33 minutes south to the Lisbon Botanical Gardens. Find a spot on the terrace to wait for the sun to dip below the horizon, casting that last golden light over the city.

    Estufa Fria

    Head back north to the Estufa Fria. It is a short 13-minute walk from the gardens. The glasshouses offer a calm, humid atmosphere to unwind after the view.
