On my last morning in Lisbon I decided to take advantage of the fact that breakfast was served until noon at my hotel (Janelas Verdes) and get out before it became too hot (although it was late March it had reached 28 degrees Celsius on both previous days). I had a look at my map and Esterla Park looked like the most attractive and cool option, within easy walking distance of my hotel. You can reach the Park on the no 28 Antique Tram. I thought that the cafe by the pond looked like a lovely spot to sip a coffee.
