Getting There

As you get closer to Dili, you will pass by several local shops and small eateries. Once you reach the outskirts of Dili, keep walking straight for another 1 kilometer. You will see a park area on your left, which is Largo de Lecidere. The entrance is marked, and it should be an inviting green space where you can relax.

• Bicycle

  If you are comfortable biking, rent a bicycle from a local shop in Aileu. Start at Praça de Aileu and head towards Avenida de Aileu. Follow the same route as walking, but on a bicycle, you can cover the distance quicker. Maintain a steady pace as you travel along the main road towards Dili. After about 3 kilometers, you’ll notice the road will begin to change into a busier area. Keep to the right side of the road for safety. When you reach the outskirts of Dili, continue for another kilometer, and you should see Largo de Lecidere on your left. Make sure to park your bicycle at the designated area before entering the park.
