The Garden of Aromas is located in the parish of Águas Livres, in the municipality of Amadora. This green space is situated in an urbanized area, offering a natural and accessible refuge in the city's surroundings.
As the name suggests, this garden invites a unique sensory experience. It features an area dedicated to aromatic plants, traversed by pedestrian paths. This route allows visitors to explore and learn about the various scents and fragrances that the natural environment can offer, making the visit an olfactory discovery.
The design of the Garden of Aromas includes a pedestrian avenue that develops with a "wavy" movement, lending fluidity to the stroll. Throughout the garden, there are various seating areas equipped with sets of tables and benches, ideal for moments of rest or a peaceful break. A scenic element to highlight is its fountain, which features water displays and lighting, creating a point of visual and auditory interest. The space also has an area dedicated to traditional games and an area for picnics.
With an area of about 1.2 hectares, the Garden of Aromas underwent a significant refurbishment in 2004. This intervention aimed to modernize and improve its infrastructures, ensuring that the place continues to be a well-maintained meeting and leisure point. Its design and maintenance reflect the purpose of offering a pleasant and functional environment, providing an inviting place for strolls and moments of decompression.
