Parque Dom Pedro Infante is a central urban park in Aveiro, offering a harmonious setting for leisure, walks, and cultural events. Located close to the historic center, the park is one of the city's most popular green areas and a key element of Aveiro’s urban identity.
The park is named after Infante Dom Pedro, son of King João VI, an important figure in the history of both Portugal and Brazil. Its current layout was shaped in the 20th century, and since then it has become a favorite destination for residents and visitors alike, combining natural beauty, landscape design, and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
The park features shaded paths, ponds, playgrounds, sports areas, open-air pavilions, and lawns for picnics. It hosts regular cultural events, concerts, and municipal festivals. Sculptures and commemorative installations throughout the park contribute to an atmosphere of contemplation and community.
With its variety of plant life, including century-old trees and ornamental shrubs, the park also holds botanical value and serves as a space for environmental education. It plays an important role as both an ecological buffer and a recreational zone within the city’s structure.
Parque Dom Pedro Infante is a vibrant part of Aveiro — a place where natural harmony, historical legacy, and contemporary urban life come together.
