📍 Jardins da Real Quinta de Caxias, Oeiras – A historic garden mixing natural beauty with royal history. Stroll under shady trees and discover ornamental fountains and an 18th-century waterfall pavilion (the “Jardins da Cascata” – stunning for photos!). Note: The Cascata garden area doesn’t allow dogs, but you and your pup can wander the surrounding trails and enjoy the peaceful greenery together. It’s a perfect mini-adventure just outside Lisbon. Save this for a weekend outing and let your dog sniff around this secret royal retreat! 🐕🌳 Tip: Pack water and doggy bags, and keep the area clean so pet-friendly spots like this stay open.

How to get there: It’s a short drive or train ride from Lisbon. Official info: Check Oeiras city’s page for park details🐾💚
