The Bacalhôa Buddha Eden is located in the city of Bombarral, about 80km from Lisbon, 1 hour by car. Reserve about 2 hours for the visit, if you go with small children, it is better to take a stroller as they will get tired, it is a walk for any age, if you go on very sunny days, do not forget the sunscreen and to take water. There are several paths to do within this location, don't worry which one is right to start, exploration is part of this tour, explore the paths and go to all of them if your legs can handle it, guaranteed in each of these paths you will have beautiful surprises. There are two places for lunch on site, one at the entrance and the other in the middle of the park in front of the lakes. It is an unmissable tour and worthy of many beautiful photos. For wheelchairs, I recommend using a motorized one, as the path is long and there are many descents and ascents, but you can enjoy it for about 90% of the tour, as there are always alternative ways to reach places with stairs. Have a good trip!

It has many, many great sculptures in both stone and metal art forms.We really enjoyed it and will return again. My only complaint is that there is a bit of a mixture of cultures as at the entry area there is a Roman influence and then there is a large area devoted to Africa and then the Buddha area but it's only described as the Buddha Eden gardens. I think the Roman statue area should be removed and the garden divided by vegetation into the African area and the Buddha area as that would make sense. I would like to see more foliage in the Buddha area with corner to allow meditation with trickling streams and seating. At present, the Buddha area is in a vast open expanse of land which doesn't seem appropriate to me. Overall a good place to visit and take a multitude of photos of the amazing sculptures.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING AND HUGE. Seriously we spent a all day in there and I'm pretty sure we couldn't see everything, pack some lunch and go early in the morning, the entry ticket is ridiculously cheap like 3€ or something and it's beautiful!! Don't rush even if you do want to see everything because people this is the place where you go to relax, to appreciate nature and enjoy the works of art. It's like you'll find your nirvana there. Bring some comfortable shoes because you'll walk a LOT, take water too because during summer time it's really hot in there, you can do as we did and used the water sprinkler to freshen up. Some shorts and t-shirt are fine and don't forget solar protection otherwise you'll be getting a funny shaped burn!

The place is a kitsch. But a beautiful kitsch. The main reason to rate 5 stars is the purpose that made the initiator establish these gardens. This is what they say on their website: "Join us for a visit of the Quinta dos Loridos, where the impressive Buddha Eden – the largest oriental garden in Europe, can be found. The oriental garden with around 35 hectares of land was created as a reaction to the destruction of the Buddhas of Banyan, in which one of the greatest acts of cultural barbarity took place, erasing masterpieces of late-period Gandhara art. " anyway, the place is beautiful. maintained excellent. Any person that has even a little humanity, should visit while in Portugal, at least for the solidarity.

Absolutely loved the gardens, it really was amazing. Just a couple of things I wish I had known beforehand: 1. Spring/early Summer is probably the best time as all the flowers will be out 2. Wear decent walking shoes as it’s a bit hilly and the paths are sometimes uneven 3. There are no toilets inside the garden (May be in the restaurant’s but we didn’t use them). So make sure you go BEFORE you enter the garden 4. Unfortunately you can’t take a picnic with you to eat in the garden - we had but had to leave it in the car 5. there’s probably too much to do in one afternoon - we missed the QR code for the map which would have helped Having said that I would definitely go back! Preferably May/June time.
