Estrela (Basílica): Jardim da Estrela

Jardim de Estrela means Garden of Star. A favorite of local families, who meet around the duck ponds, outdoor cafés, and a wrought-iron bandstand that once stood on Avenida da Liberdade, this park is also a popular picnic spot. It was laid out in a romantic and English style in 1852, with sculptures and exotic plants. It’s officially named after poet Guerra Junqueiro, but everyone knows it as Jardim da Estrela (“Garden of Star”). On the first weekend of each month it holds a crafts and design market, and on summer weekends it's often a stage of music festivals.
