I love this garden in Lisbon. Unlike the other green haven (check the Jardim Calouste Gulbenkian article) this garden has been landscaped in a far more open way and also tends to be busier. The paths are wider and there is a feeling that not only are you surrounded by nature in the trees but that you also have the sky stretching way above you.
There is a newly refurbished café here that is on the edge of an artificial lake, and the park is usually a hive of activity with families enjoying the outdoor space and sun, people walking dogs and small groups of elderly Portuguese men playing cards at the tables.
The garden hosts the Out Jazz festival for one month between May and September. Look at the agenda (which can be found on the Out Jazz Facebook page) to see which days Jardim Estrela will be alive with music and people enjoying the Sunday evening jazz in the open air auditorium. The first session took place on 6 May 2012 and will continue at Estrela every Sunday in May.
