• No gates, so it never closes, but the city advises staying away in severe weather, when it cannot be shut
• The rose garden keeps set hours: the Rosaleda Ramón Ortiz opens at 10am and closes at 7pm in October, 6pm from November to February
• Hilly ground: the English-garden layout has steep slopes and big level changes, so plan stroller routes

Almost 100 hectares of English-style garden on the slopes west of Moncloa, with steep lawns, winding paths and a 600-meter artificial stream with a path alongside. The Teleférico cable car leaves from the park for Casa de Campo, an Egyptian temple from the 2nd century BC stands at the southern tip, and three Civil War bunkers still sit near Avenida de Séneca.
