A Pracinha
Located in the heart of Beja, in the Praça da República, A Pracinha is a landmark of the city already, due to its cultural offer and selection of biological products.

Address: Praça da República, 9 (see in a map)
Parque da Cidade
The Beja City Park is one of the largest green spaces of the city that hosts MUPA, with multiple gardens, a restaurant and a coffee shop, and with a wide grass area ideal for a picnic or an afternoon of reading on the sun.
