About the place
Welcome to the Royal Prince Garden Apartments, your central set of apartaments located in one of the most beautiful and charismatic neighborhoods of Lisboa, The Jardim do Príncipe Real. This romantic garden, laid out in 1863, is the center of the Príncipe Real district’s main square. Surrounded by elegant buildings, it's an urban refuge with a gigantic parasol-like cedar tree, under which young couples sit for a while, as old men play cards and children run around a small playground.
Other sculptures around the garden honor 19th-century writers and poets (Antero de Quental, Sousa Viterbo, and França Borges). At the center is a fountain surrounded by a small lake. There’s also a café with outdoor seating, and two kiosks serving refreshments. Every Saturday it hosts a farmers' market, offering organic fruits and vegetables. On the last Saturday and Monday of each month there's also a crafts and antiques market. Underneath it all is a stone reservoir from the 1800s that's part of the city's aqueduct and Water Museum , open for visits on weekends.
