Another fantastic experience for visitors is the Serralves Tree Walk, a short walk on platforms built amidst the treetops of the park which gives you a panoramic view of the park’s grounds and lakes. It’s included in the park’s 20 euro admission fee, and definitely something you shouldn’t skip out on!
