Massage in Principe Real

Even the trees relax here: the garden's famous cedar has spent 150 years lying down.

Príncipe Real in four stories

The neighbourhood where even trees rest

All palaces and gardens, Príncipe Real is Lisbon's elegant 19th-century side. And it hides more than it shows. It is one of the calm corners on our quiet map of the city.

A cedar lying down

At the centre of the garden lives a cedar around 150 years old, trained to grow horizontally. Its canopy, resting on an iron trellis, opens like a parasol 20 metres across.

A hidden underground lake

Beneath the garden hides the Patriarcal Reservoir, a 19th-century underground water cathedral with octagonal pillars. You can visit it through the Water Museum.

A palace for shopping

The neo-Moorish Ribeiro da Cunha palace, built in 1877, is now Embaixada: a gallery of Portuguese brands with a palatial staircase and a courtyard made for a late-afternoon cocktail.

The scientists' garden

Next door is Lisbon's Botanical Garden, created in 1878 for the study of botany. Hectares of species from all over the world, in a silence that is rare this close to the centre.

How it works

Among the antique shops, two choices

After the boutiques of Rua Dom Pedro V and a sunset at the viewpoint, decide where the day ends:

We come to you

Frequently asked questions

Massage - Principe Real

Do you do massages at my hotel in Príncipe Real?

Yes. We serve hotels and guesthouses across the neighbourhood and the Rato and São Bento areas. The therapist brings the table, sheets, oils and towels: all you need is a free corner in the room.

How do I get to the spa from Príncipe Real?

By taxi or Uber it's about 10 minutes. By metro, walk down to Rato and take the yellow line straight to Saldanha: three stops and you're there. The spa is steps from the exit.

Can we book a couples massage in our room?

Of course. Two therapists come to you, with two tables. It's our most romantic booking and the late-afternoon slots go fast: reserve ahead via WhatsApp.

Which treatment goes with a day of shopping and museums?

Feet tired of window displays ask for reflexology; shoulders loaded with bags ask for deep tissue. Or combine both in a 90-minute session.
