Outstanding example of medieval bridge with Roman beginnings. It's made to connect both sides of the river by walking and doing that is a joy with impressive views all around.

Parque do Arnado

Reviewed By eljad2015 - Wassenaar, The Netherlands

You will find this park when you cross the old bridge and turn right. The entrance is just past the church. Hardly any tourists, which is hard to believe given it's location! It is one of the loveliest and most romantic parcs I've seen. Very green and luscious, beautifully kept. It has ponds, covered walks overgrown with grapevines and wisteria, rose gardens, ponds, grass, statues and even one of those famous old grain storage contraptions. It is open every day until 18:00. If you continue down the park toward the end, you'll find a spacious playground and a fitness area, but everything about it is lovely. Very varied, beautifully kept, lot's of variety. It's nice and cool, too, which is another plus! If you're looking for the exit: you leave through the same gate you entered (took me a while!). And if you love photography, make sure you don't miss it. Lot's of photo opps.
