Location

The Santos Nicolau Garden is located in the urban area of Santos Nicolau, in the city of Setúbal. This green space is integrated into an area characterized by its relationship with the Sado estuary, offering, from some of its points, a perspective on the natural surroundings. Its position provides an environment of proximity to the locality's daily life, while also allowing for moments of tranquility and observation of the landscape that embraces the city, including the silhouette of the Serra da Arrábida and the coastline of Tróia in the distance.

An Inclusive Visit

The Santos Nicolau Garden was designed as a truly open space for everyone, with a particular focus on accessibility and inclusion. As a result of its requalification, this garden ensures that visitors with different mobility needs can fully enjoy the environment. The paths have been renovated to facilitate circulation, and there is urban furniture and resting points strategically placed, inviting comfortable and relaxed stays in every corner of the garden.

The Discovery of the Senses

This garden provides an experience that stimulates the various senses. Through a carefully planned interpretive trail, visitors are invited to interact actively with the space. Elements such as color contrasts in plants and materials, different textures to the touch, subtle aromas, and ambient sounds create an immersive and dynamic atmosphere, making the exploration of the garden a unique sensory journey.

Natural Teachings

Beyond a leisure spot, the Santos Nicolau Garden has a pedagogical and environmental dimension. Along the path, there are informative equipment and panels that raise awareness of the importance of sustainable energies. The garden interactively presents concepts related to biomass, geothermal, ocean, solar, hydro, and wind energy, through different stations that invite reflection on the rational use of natural resources.
