Jardim Botânico do Porto

Located on the grounds of the Campo Alegre mansion, this botanical garden serves as a site for plant conservation and research. It is managed by the University of Porto's Natural History and Science Museum. Visitors go here to walk through a diverse collection of plant species and experience a quiet green space within the urban environment.

Getting There

The garden is situated a short distance from Porto's city centre. You can reach it via a 15 to 20-minute walk or a brief trip by taxi or ride-share service, depending on your exact starting point.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk through the grounds and view the various plant collections at a steady pace.
