  2. The Tiled Canal at Queluz Palace runs 150 meters, lined with 18th-century azulejos of figures in tricorn hats on one side and seafaring scenes on the other. There are also four greenhouses where monarchs once personally tended pineapples, because the fruit was a luxury. Full gardens guide:

Nestled within the #CountrysideViews of a historic estate, it offers peaceful walking paths and seating areas where visitors can enjoy the scenery. Popular among those exploring #Gardens on National Trust properties, it blends natural beauty with the heritage of a #HistoricEstate.

Named for a Native American herbalist, the plant has a long history of medicinal uses. See tinyurl.com/ye2yrxmm and tinyurl.com/5xmbhb77.
