Jardim do Rio and Stairs Sculpture

Jardim do Rio, a riverside park in Almada overlooking the Tagus, combines natural scenery with modern art, most notably a large staircase-shaped sculpture that rises dramatically from the ground. This unique piece provides a bold subject for photography, especially when framed against the Lisbon skyline and the 25 de Abril Bridge in the background. The park itself offers lawns, walking paths, and open viewpoints that are particularly atmospheric at sunset, when the sky glows above the river. Accessible via ferry from Lisbon to Cacilhas, followed by a short walk, Jardim do Rio offers both peaceful riverside landscapes and striking urban-art compositions. (Almada, Portugal)
