Every other month, we invite our guests to join us in a ‘Travel with Purpose’ experience, bonding with nature and caring for our planet in Lisbon’s Botanical Gardens.
You’re giving a helping hand to the local community and making sure its charm lasts for generations to come.
You’ll uncover each plant’s story, exploring their intriguing histories. It’s more than just acquainting yourself with plants from around the world; it’s a window into the garden’s past. A place that’s been the botanical students playground since 1609, it’s a friendly nod to history and learning.
You’re right there, working hands-on to clean and remove invasive plants, making space for the native ones to flourish. It’s about getting your hands involved, understanding the delicate balance of the environment, and playing a role in its restoration and renewal.

It’s a hands-on way to make a positive difference, and trust us, the feeling of accomplishment and connection will stay with you long after you’ve left Lisbon.

Lisbon Botanical Garden
Established in 1878, the Lisbon Botanical Garden has stood the test of time as an integral part of Lisbon’s landscape. Covering over four hectares of land, the garden is a harmonious blend of meticulously curated landscapes and untamed corners. Its primary purpose is not only to showcase the stunning variety of flora but also to provide a space for research, conservation, and education.
Absolutely, you’re welcome to explore the Lisbon Botanical Garden on your own. It’s open to the public every day of the year, except for December 25th and January 1st. When you volunteer with us, you’re also free to enjoy the garden at your leisure once the cleaning activity concludes.
The garden is open every day of the year, except for December 25th and January 1st. During the winter, it’s open from 9 am to 5 pm, and in the summer, it’s open from 9 am to 8 pm.
