Yoga at a Palace

The gardens of the Palácio dos Marqueses de Fronteira open exclusively for these early-morning yoga sessions before the palace admits its regular visitors. You practice surrounded by the most extraordinary azulejo panels in Lisbon — life-sized ceramic cavaliers riding past your mat as peacocks wander the lawns.

Sessions are led by a certified yoga instructor specialising in Hatha and Vinyasa. All levels welcome; the sequence is designed to energise without overwhelming. Maximum ten participants per session.

After the practice, the palace's caretaker family serves coffee and fresh fruit in the garden before the gates open to the public. A genuinely extraordinary start to any Lisbon morning.
