The Grounds

Answer

Lower Gardens: Our ceremony will take place in the breathtaking lower terrace, right in front of the grand stone staircase. Surrounded by sculpted box hedges, towering palms, and a peaceful central fountain, this garden feels like a romantic escape in the heart of Lisbon, an unforgettable setting to exchange our vows. Upper Terrace – Plants of the World Garden: After the ceremony, guests will make their way to the upper terrace for cocktail hour. Known as the Plants of the World Garden, this space offers sweeping views of the Tagus River and Lisbon’s rooftops. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a drink, some light bites, and celebrate together. Neoclassical Greenhouse for the Reception: Our celebration will continue in the garden’s beautiful greenhouse, a light-filled space with high ceilings, classic architectural details, and a warm, elegant atmosphere. This is where we’ll share dinner, toasts, dancing, and all the moments that will carry us into the night.
