Queluz National Gardens

The Palace is surrounded by gardens making justice to the exuberance in the harmony of palatial landscape and architecture. They portray the good taste of the Court in a time characterized by the baroque and neoclassical styles.

Its surrounding scenic gardens invite you for a “stroll” through a period in which the court organized sumptuous parties and that hold the memories of trips by gondola along the canal, theatre, hunting, musical and literary performances, masked balls, games, and open-air recitals. A dreamlike scenario, animated by the waterfalls and delicate water games.
