Is Parque das Nações worth it as a couple?

Worth itAs a couple

As a couple, Parque das Nações works.

A complete tonal break from old Lisbon: wide clean waterfront promenades, a gondola over the river, fountains and family-friendly space. The catch: it's deliberately corporate-modern and can feel sterile or empty off-peak, and it's far east. Great with kids or for a riverside stroll; skip if you only have a day for the historic core.
