Bucaco National Park Attractions Parque Nacional do Buçaco

 
Buçaco National Park, which lies 25km/15.5mi northeast of Coimbra on the northern slopes of the Serra do Buçaco, is virtually unrivaled in its scenic beauty and richness of vegetation. The older speling, Busaco, is familiar in British history as the scene of Welington's victory over Napoleon's troops in 1810. Although it is possible to drive through the Buçaco Forest's 105ha/260 acres - enclosed by a wall over 5km/3mi long - it is well worth taking the time to explore them using the network of attractive footpaths leading to idyllic glades, picturesque fountains and springs, and magnificent viewpoints.
