    During the "Hills Tramcar Tour", we also saw this beautiful place from the tram. Disembarked again at Praca do Comércio, we immediately made our way to Miradouro de Santa Luzia. By now it had become very crowded here, to enjoy the view in the front row, you had to wait until someone left and this created a gap... Such places are unfortunately very popular and usually well attended, but the many miradouros also make Lisbon so worth seeing! Here we especially liked the beautiful azulejos all around and the planted pergola with a little shade, at the end of the square. For some peace and quiet you should find another "place", in our case the terrace of the restaurant Oitto, very quietly located above the "Chiado" and with extremely delicious food...

    Surely one of the best known viewpoints in Lisbon, offers stunning views of the various monuments nearby and the Tagus. Very charming and romantic corner but unfortunately victim of its success. Indeed 10 tourists per m2 (we the first), we push you, influencers ask you to push yourself not to spoil their photos... that plus the charm sellers who algae you... To appreciate it we advise you to go early in the morning, as it remains a must in Lisbon.

    From here you have a great view over the Alfama, the Cathedral Le Sé and the cruise port and of course out to sea. Here you will find typical azulejos and partly also azulejos with the history of the city. Unfortunately very crowded with Touris. You can hardly take a picture of the Azulejos because of the many Instagrammers.

    Since we were lucky with the 28th tram, we got off near this observation point. Atmospheric, with a view of the rooftops and the cruise port, but the ships had already left for their cruises in the evening and all that was left was to look at the river and listen to the musicians. You can climb the stairs a little higher and have a cocktail with a view, but we already wanted to find a place for dinner. It will be especially beautiful here when the bougainvillea blooms; roses and strelitzia bloomed in April, so there is always something pleasing to the eye here. And, most importantly, there were very few people. We also went back by tram with a breeze through narrow streets.

    We were on our way to San Jorge Castle on tram 28 and the stop where we got off was the Santa Luzía viewpoint. The view is incredible, spectacular, it always has quite a few tourists but we found a place to take a photo and contemplate the landscape, we met several artists in this place and we really liked a singer who was there and as is typical in Portugal the tiles in the gazebo and a detail that I had not seen in other places which were quite a few bougainvilleas. It also has the church with the same name with a scene in the tiles that I really liked, which was that of the reconquest of the castle of San Jorge by the Christians in this church built by the order of Malta, declared a national monument and that inside has many tombs worth visiting

    Beautiful panoramic place offering a wide view of the city. Beyond the panorama, the presence of blooming bougainvillea and azulejos also makes the place very pleasant. Overcrowding spoils the atmosphere a bit. That's too bad.

    You will find this viewpoint at the top of Alfama. It is by a church and next to a small park. Los of people get off their tuk-tuks to take photos here, and that is a very good idea as the views are superb. And it is a very pretty spot, where I was happy to linger for a while.

    No visit to the historic Alfama district is complete without a stopover at one of the "miradouros" or lookout points, of which Miradouro de Santa Luzia is undoubtedly the most romantic. Its bougainvillea-covered pergola, elegant garden with flowerbeds, and azulejo tiles clad benches and wall murals next to the quaint Church of Santa Luzia provide the perfect setting for couples to soak up the picture-postcard view of the colourful Alfama village cascading down to River Tagus, decked by a docked cruise ship, whilst being caressed by the Atlantic breeze. The air of romance encapsulates this hanging garden of Alfama!

    Great view on the old town, sea and huge cruise ships. Overall, quite good area and surprisingly not extremely popular. There are some traders nearby selling a good choice of souvenirs.

The perfect evening spot to have a snack, sit outside and take in the beautiful views. The restaurant is a walk up to the window type, and while they were sold out of some items at 8 pm there was still plenty to choose from, the prices were reasonable. The next level up is like a park, lots of places to sit, and see the beautiful water views.

The only caution is the Tuk Tuk drivers, we were in the very same spot Wednesday afternoon and took a Tuk Tuk to our Airbnb for €10, on Saturday night they quoted €20 for the same two people (grandmother and child). Needless to say we declined (the Uber was €3,25) as the Tuk Tuk drivers kept lowering their prices for us to no avail. Expect to pay around 3 times the price of Uber for the Tuk Tuk (which has been typical all week) but 6 times is ridiculous.

We quickly learnt that in Lisbon anything with the word ‘miradouro’ in the name was worth going to. It roughly translates as ‘viewpoint’.
This large, open terrace is next to the more famous Miradouro das Portas do Sol. The view from Santa Luzia is not as expansive but you get a different angle. What makes it really special (and I think more beautiful) are the panels of traditional blue and white azujelos tiles on the walls of both the church and terrace.
If you go behind the church, you’ll find lookout point and two large tiled panels. One shows Lisbon’s main square Praça do Comércio, before the 1755 earthquake. The other, shows the historic scene in 1147 when the Christian crusaders finally captured St Jorge Castle (which stands above you).
This is the moment where, after a long 4 month siege, one of the knights, Martim Moniz, spotted an open side gate. IHe threw his body into the open gateway, wedging the door open, allowing the crusaders to storm the castle. t was a game-changer and the Moors were defeated.
Before you leave, don’t-miss the hidden tunnel. It’s tucked away down the stairs to the left of the church. A colourful, fun mural covers the walls and tells the history of Lisbon in cartoon panels).
GETTING THERE:
It’s very easy to get here and I’d highly recommend catching the famous #28 tram and getting off at the Miradouro das Portas do Sol.

We were here around 6:30pm on a Thursday and it was packed! We made a quick loop through, since we had our twins & their giant double stroller, but it was quite beautiful! And the views were pretty too! I just love that the lookout area is so nice so you can enjoy that as well as the view out. It's not often you get a nice, pretty place to sit that matches the nice view. I don't think the views are anything special, mostly because you're mostly seeing white building with reddish roofs and some water but perhaps I'm biased.

In the Alfama district you cannot miss two of the most spectacular maradouris in my opinion, Santa Luzia and Porta del Sol. Beautiful view over the roofs of the Alfama and the Lisbon skyline but also noteworthy are the azulejos (decorated tiles) that decorate the lookout wall. Crowded with tourists!

Postcard panoramic views of Lisbon can be experienced here. Nice place to sit and enjoy the views of red roofs of Alfama and the sea. This big balcony is surrounded by some fantastic Azulejos (traditional blue tiles of Portugal). About 12 min walk from Praça do Comércio and also en route the iconic yellow Tram 28. Well maintained garden behind the balcony. Take care of your belongings as it may get crowded here during peak hours like sunset and big tour groups coming here.

This may be one of the most beautiful vantage points in Lisbon, but if this small square is totally crowded. Souvenir vendors, musicians and lots of people by bus, taxi, tukTuks and uphill on foot. In another season it may be better and you can enjoy the beauty of the Azujelos and the magnificent view of the Alfama.

In Lisbon, there are several Miradouro that offer beautiful views of the city and relaxed seating options. In Alfama, this is the best one to see and take photos/ a break during your walks. Highly recommended!

This is one (out of many) of the most famous and beautiful Miradouros in Portugal capital. It's set in the central, lower part of Alfama some 200 m uphill from the Se Cathedral.
Miradouro is aside the same name Church of Santa Luzia, and both, the Miradouro and the Church have beautiful Azulejos on their facades.
Best is to come late afternoon when sun shines on the National Pantheon and that eastern part of town along with the Tagus river.
There're always some street musicians playing which just adds to terrific atmosphere.

We went to this lookout using the very popular tram 28 which stops right in front of the miradouro. From here you can easily observe the Alfama district and the Tagus river standing quietly under the characteristic pergola covered with bougainvillea. Interesting are the azulejos on the south wall of the terrace depicting the Lisbon Commerce Square and the battle in the Castle of São Jorge. A few tens of meters away there is a panoramic terrace, Miraduro das Portas do Sol, which, although less romantic and more crowded, offers an excellent and even better view of Alfama.

A beautiful view of Alfama and beyond. Although it is always quite full (regardless of what time you go) the view is a spectacle. We also stopped to have a snack on one of the benches and enjoyed these moments up here.
