Lisbon is a favorite for travelers with a four-legged furry friend

Walk Itineraries for You and Your Dog

Turismo de Lisboa Visitors & Convention Bureau is recommending many itineraries around the Portuguese capital to enjoy with a dog.

The bureau suggests to start a stroll at Jardim do Campo Grande, one of Lisbon’s largest green spaces, complete with fenced dog areas, water fountains, and shady corners to relax. It’s the perfect place for the animal to burn off energy safely while you soak up the park’s calm atmosphere.

Next, head to Praça de São João Bosco in Estrela, where your four-legged friend can play and socialize in an obstacle-equipped dog zone while you enjoy a coffee on a nearby terrace. Turismo Lisboa suggests to end the day with a leisurely walk along pedestrian areas such as Cais do Sodré’s riverfront promenade and through Lisbon’s downtown streets to take in the city’s vibrant ambiance.

On day two, venture to Parque Bensaúde in Benfica—a hidden gem where you can both breathe in fresh air surrounded by nature. Located near the Torre de Benfica and the neighborhood’s historic landmarks, it’s ideal for a little cultural exploration, too. Continue to Jardim Fernando Pessa in Areeiro for a quick post-lunch playtime, then wrap up your day at Cerco da Graça. From here, soak in sweeping views of the city, including the Castelo de São Jorge, Convento da Graça, and the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge. With shaded lawns and safe walking paths, it’s the perfect spot to unwind before heading back to your hotel.
