Detailed itinerary

The park offers its visitors a unique experience with nature. Here, the landscape is never repeated and this is its greatest beauty. Allow yourself to have no limits and come have fun like children in our gardens. On sunny days, the park is radiant.
On rainy days, the walk along the paths of Mátria is also especially beautiful. The scent of flowers mingles with the fresh scent of wet earth, and on these days the park provides visitors with umbrellas and raincoats.
