regulars at boa vista are mostly locals since oddly enough, it is usually not included in the typical tourist itinerary. it is a popular spot for picnics and family gatherings, especially on weekends, when the park gets a bit more crowded.

visitors can rent swan-shaped pedal boats, bicycles and carts to ride around the premises or just relax on one of the park's vast lawns. with so much to see and do at the quinta da boa vista, it may be a good idea to plan on spending the whole day.
