Monserrate Palace and Park Guided Tour

Explore one of Portugal’s top tourist attractions

A trip to Lisbon isn’t complete without stopping at Monserrate Palace and Park. Once owned by British industrialist and art collector, Francis Cook, today it is considered one of Portugal’s pride and joy. With an expert guide at the helm, walk through the central atrium of the palace as you take in the beautiful mix of Gothic, Indian, and Moorish architecture. Then, step into the sacred art room and gallery with decorative motifs of flowers and birds. That’s not all. Check out the billiards room and the music room which were once the entertainment hubs of the Cook Family.

Admire and delight in natural beauty and landscape

After touring the Palace, step out for some fresh air into the Monserrate Park. Stroll through Fern Valley, which is home to a wide collection of arboreal ferns and move on to the rose garden that features a beautiful collection of roses and was restored by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in 2011. End your tour by relaxing on the lawn, which has a creative irrigation system.
