What we’re about
Looking for a refreshing way to start your day? Join us once a week for a morning walk in Monsanto park to enjoy some fresh air and scenic views right in the middle of the city. Our goal is to come together for a peaceful and calming walk that will set a positive tone for the rest of our day, maybe even clear our minds and reduce some stress!
This club encourages community and making new connections, but also welcomes quiet, introspective walks together. Each walk will be kept small (max. 10 walkers) to support a comfortable, familiar atmosphere.
Ideally, each route will be circular and not take more than 1 hour.
These walks are inclusive: All fitness levels, ages, genders, nationalities are welcome, including (well-behaved) furry friends. Our pace will be set by the slowest walker.
Out of respect to the group and nature, please be prepared to stow your phone and keep it on silent for the duration of the walk.
See you in the park!

Join us for an easy circular walk through Monsanto Park. This one is a bit longer than usual, but nothing we can't handle. We will explore the western bit of the park, including Vila Guiné before circling back to the starting point.
If your schedule allows, feel free to join the group for a mid-morning coffee and snack at a local kiosk after finishing our walk!
