Timeline

  1. 18:43

    Linha d'Água

    Start with a coffee at Linha d'Água café near the Menina calçando meia sculpture. It is open until 21:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before the evening rush.

  2. 19:28

    Parque Eduardo VII

    Walk 6 minutes from the sculpture area to the main park grounds. Stroll through the formal gardens toward Miradouro Parque Eduardo VII. The park is open all day, so you can wander freely as the afternoon light begins to fade.

    Parque Eduardo VII

    Find your spot on the terrace for sunset. On 15 April, the sun sets at 20:13 toward the WNW, casting long shadows over the city and water. The expansive views from Miradouro Parque Eduardo VII are at their best in this fading light.

    Eleven

    Head to Eleven for dinner. This Michelin-starred restaurant is located in Jardim Amália Rodrigues, just an 8-minute walk from the park. Reservations are essential as it fills quickly for the 19:30 service.

  5. 22:13

    Tivoli Hotel Sky Bar

    End the night with a drink at the Tivoli Hotel Sky Bar. It is a 13-minute walk from the park area. This rooftop bar is a small secret with youngish music and superb views, perfect for staying out late.

Local tip

The park is large. Use the paths near the Estufa Fria greenhouse to find quieter spots if the main terrace is crowded. Eleven requires booking well in advance.

  • Eleven is open Mo-Su 12:30-14:30 and 19:30-22:30. Ensure your dinner reservation is within these hours.
  • Tivoli Hotel Sky Bar hours are listed as 'passed midnight', but confirm late-night access if planning to stay very late.
