Castelo S. Jorge
The position of the ancient castle was always going to be one of the best defensive and vantage points of Lisbon, with a clear sight down the Tejo Estuary and steep slopes descending from its walls. From the battlements, there are stunning panoramic views over the entire city and out to the Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. The castle is one of the best tourist attractions of Lisbon and is open 9:00 to 21:00 (9:00 to 18:00 winter), while the admission fee is €10.00.

Portas do Sol + Sta. Luzia
These Miradouros are the most photographed viewpoints of Lisbon, and visited by the majority of tourists to the city. This popularity is in-part due to its location, on the main tram route through Alfama. From here there are wonderful views over Alfama and out to the cooling waters of the Tejo. The plaza behind the Miradouro das Portas do Sol is a great location to take a break from sightseeing, as there are numerous, kiosks, cafes and restaurants, all set in a pleasant touristy atmosphere.

Graça
The Miradouro da Graça viewpoint (also known as the Miradouro Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen) is popular with tourists as it offers some of the best views of the castle and is situated in a pleasant section of the city, which is relatively easy to travel to. The viewpoint is in front of the imposing Igreja e Convento da Graça complex and on the edge of the tree-lined Jardim Augusto Gil park, which provides shaded seating and drinks kiosks.

Sra. do Monte
In our opinion, the Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte is the best viewpoint of Lisbon. It is located on the highest hill of Lisbon, has a delightful setting and is virtually unknown by foreign tourists. From the summit, there are amazing views over the castle and central Lisbon, while the setting is beneath the shade of trees and next to a charming little church. Historically this was where young Portuguese couple would meet up for romantic liaisons, without the interference of parents or gossiping neighbours. The Miradouro da Nossa Senhora do Monte still retains this romantic ambience, but sees many more visitors since the influx of the Tuk-Tuk tours.

Sta. Catarina (Adamastor)
A location full of students, who come here in the evenings to socialise, play music and drink. At the centre of the garden there is a monument that personifies the dangerous seas as a demon, the Adamastor, who the early explorers overcame. Nearby take Elevador da Bica to go to pink street or timeout market.

Parque Eduardo Sétimo
The Miradouro do Parque Eduardo VII provides a very different view over Lisbon. The viewpoint is located at the northern end of the ornamental gardens of the Eduardo VII Park, from where it looks down over the Marquês de Pombal square and the Avenida da Liberdade, all the way to the Tejo Estuary 3km away. The Parque Eduardo VII is refreshingly open and green when compared to the narrow maze of Alfama or the agitation of Baixa. Close by is the El Corte Inglés, Lisbon’s best department store. In the northwest corner you have Estufa Fria.
