Today it covers several square kilometres and shelters a surprising amount of wildlife, from birds of prey to foxes, within the city itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see and do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Walking and cycling trails through the forest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Viewpoints over Lisbon, the Tagus and the 25 de Abril bridge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Picnic areas and the park&#8217;s interpretation centre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The \u00c1guas Livres aqueduct, which crosses the park&#8217;s edge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The park lies to the west of central Lisbon, easily reached by bus or car.
