Overview

Estoril Garden, also known as Jardim do Estoril or Jardim da Amoreira, serves as a central green lung for the coastal town of Estoril. The park is characterized by its tiered terraces, manicured flower beds, and a prominent central fountain. It is situated directly adjacent to the historic Casino Estoril, connecting the town's upper district to the coastal promenade. The garden features diverse flora, including palm trees and seasonal blooms adapted to the Mediterranean-Atlantic climate. Stone pathways wind through the landscape, providing shaded seating areas beneath mature trees. It acts as a pedestrian thoroughfare and a social gathering point for locals and visitors. The design reflects mid-20th-century Portuguese landscaping styles.
