Jardim Amália Rodrigues

This guide to the Jardim Amália Rodrigues in Lisbon follows the fado singer from a girl selling fruit on the city's quays in the 1930s to a voice that filled Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl and L'Olympia in sixty-eight countries. It traces how the garden came to bear her name, and the lake, fountain and Botero sculpture that now sit at one of Lisbon's highest points. A quiet, elevated spot worth pausing in before the city's viewpoints get crowded.
