The Jacaranda Route: Lisbon in Bloom and a Refuge in th city
Mai 01 2025
Culturele Een bezoek aan Lissabon 
Among Lisbon's seasonal attractions, a silent spectacle transforms the city every year: the jacaranda trees bloom. From late May to June, the streets are bathed in a lilac hue and a poetic charm that is impossible to ignore. In this article, we explore the history of jacaranda trees in Lisbon and recommend the Hotel Marquês de Pombal on Avenida da Liberdade as the perfect place to enjoy this beauty.
The history behing the jacaranda trees
Despite their resemblance to Lisbon, jacarandas originate from South America, specifically Brazil and Argentina. They arrived in Lisbon in the 19th century, brought by botanists and landscapers looking to embellish the city's new urban spaces with exotic species.
Today, they are part of the capital's landscape, particularly in areas such as Belém, Príncipe Real, Campo Grande and, of course, Avenida da Liberdade — one of the city's most iconic avenues.
Avenida da Liberdade is awash with lilac tones.
Strolling along the avenue in late spring is a unique experience. The tops of the jacaranda trees line the pavements and central flowerbeds, providing shade and colour, as well as a perfect backdrop for photographs. As the petals fall and form a natural carpet, enchanting locals and tourists alike, the ground is covered.
The ephemeral nature of the jacarandas is as special as their vibrant colour. Their flowering period lasts just a few weeks, making each spring unique. This brief celebration invites you to slow down and take a closer look.
Where can you stay to experience this spectacle?
If you want to experience it in the heart of Lisbon, choosing the right accommodation is essential. The 4-star Hotel Marquês de Pombal, located right on Avenida da Liberdade, offers comfort and elegance, as well as a privileged view of the jacaranda trees in bloom.
This 4-star hotel is renowned for its central location, with the city's best restaurants, shops and cultural attractions just a few steps away. By staying here, you'll not only be close to the Jacaranda trees; you'll be immersed in them.
After a day of exploring Lisbon, there's nothing better than returning to the comfort of the Hotel Marquês de Pombal, having a drink in the bar, or simply contemplating the avenue in silence.
