Located in the historic district of Ajuda, Vandelli Botanical Garden is one of Lisbon’s most distinctive and enchanting event venues. Set within the Jardim Botânico da Ajuda — the oldest botanical garden in Portugal, founded in 1768 by royal commission and designed by the Italian botanist Domenico Vandelli — this remarkable setting brings together heritage, nature and timeless elegance.

Originally conceived as a centre for scientific research and royal leisure, the garden has preserved its Baroque terraced layout, grand pathways, sculptural fountains and an exceptional collection of native and exotic plant species. With sweeping views over Lisbon and the Tagus River, it offers a serene yet inspiring atmosphere, where history is present in every detail.

Today, Vandelli Botanical Garden stands as an exclusive venue for memorable events.
Featuring versatile indoor and outdoor spaces — including a neoclassical greenhouse and beautifully shaded garden terraces — it is ideally suited for brand activations, corporate dinners, cultural events, private celebrations and refined weddings for up to 300 guests.

Combining extraordinary scenery, historical depth and a strong sense of place, Vandelli Botanical Garden delivers immersive experiences that celebrate Lisbon’s heritage while fostering a genuine connection with nature.
