Jardim Braancamp Freire Lisbon

Birdies in city centre

"In Lisbon’s city center, Jardim Braancamp Freire is a park full of birds; ducks, geese, roosters. In spring, cute ducklings appear."

A park with ducks, chickens, roosters, geese, and other birds in the middle of the city center. It exists in Lisbon, you can sometimes spot the confused rooster or duck crossing the crossroads. You wait for a green light while they wander around, and nobody is in distress, everybody is used to that.

If you are lucky, in the spring, you can spot ducklings and small chicks, they are incredibly cute! If the wonder of a park full of different kinds of birdies isn't enough for you. There is an outdoor gym, Italian restaurant, and playground for dogs, it's all part of this huge park.
