4.3.6 Alto da Serafina

Parque Recreativo del Alto de la Serafina

Location HERE.

Open every day. Park closes at 1800 hours.

In the northern part of Parque Florestal de Monsanto. You should set aside an afternoon for this visit, and complete it during daylight hours.

The shelter at the top of the hill

A middling walk from the bus stop - no more than 500 metres - past the car and coach park, through the gateway by the Hello Park, bearing left at the little roundabout, then bearing right up the hill after the children’s park.

View over the Ponte 25 de Abril ...

At the top of that hill is a large shelter, more for getting shade in summer than sheltering from the rain. Tree growth has restricted some of the views, but you can still see across to Amoreiras, and across the Ponte 25 de Abril to Cristo Rei, as well as points between the two.

... and across to Amoreiras

This is also a popular spot for picnics, so there may be families passing through. Allow plenty of time to walk back to the bus stop - remember, they run only every 35 minutes. Please stick to marked paths.

Bus 770 from the north side of Sete Rios (close to the Jardim Zoológico exit from the Metro); alight at Parque Recreativo Alto Serafina. Same stop for returning to Sete Rios - it’s a circular route. Best alight at Estação Sete Rios on the return journey. This is closest to the station and Metro.

6.2 Craft Beer Bars

The craft beer revolution began to wash over Lisbon around a decade ago. Some outlets have, in the meantime, come and gone, but the scene is a good one for locals and visitors alike. You can get decent beer in The Great City - here are outlets I know about and have visited recently. Follow the links! Most outlets keep to their advertised opening hours. HOWEVER one or two may be unable to open on occasion - CHECK beforehand to avoid disappointment.
