A visit to the garden is, in itself, an intensely sensory experience.
As we walk we are not indifferent to the sounds, smells, colors and textures that surround us... The sound of water accompanies the winding paths and birdsong fills the air. As we delve into the garden, the natural scents of colorful flowers transport us, in dreams or memories, to distant places, and the fruits of the forest, nutritious seeds and small rustic flowers reveal that there are flavors to discover...
We are invited to touch the velvety moss, the rough bark of the cork oak or the thorny cacti at the garden of Mexico. June is also the month of roses and there is nothing better than ending the tour next to the palace of Monserrate where we are invaded by the sweet aroma that reaches us from the rose garden planted by the Cook family.

About the location

Parque de Monserrate
2710-405 Sintra
  • Lisbon
A writers' retreat, Monserrate attracted numerous foreign travellers, especially Englishmen, who extolled its beauty in travel reports and engravings. When Francis Cook, a wealthy 19th-century English industrialist and major art collector, visited the site, he was fascinated. From this passion was born a masterpiece of Romanticism: the Park and Palace of Monserrate.
The site offers a variety of cultural and educational events to the public.
