The Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara is located in the Bairro Alto. Superb panorama on the rooftops of Lisbon. You can reach the site from Praça dos Restauradores by climbing Calçada da Gloria or using Gloria’s funicular (very expensive unfortunately).

To get there you have to take funicular called Elevador da Gloria, located near the obelisk at Praca dos Restauradores. Leaving the funicular on top, turn right (go one hundred yards, up into a park) to enjoy the city view. You will see here what you expect to see - a view of the roofs of the city's houses, high-rise iconic buildings in the distance. I wouldn't come up here on purpose if you don't have anything else to do in the area. Save your energy and priceless time on your journey.

This large viewpoint (on two levels) is located at the north-eastern limit of the Bairro Alto, with its southern entrance located immediately after the intersection of the calçada da Gloria (which is the climb that the funicular of the same name takes) with the rua de São Pedro de Alcântara. Equipped with a very long panoramic balcony, even if the very wide view is not among my absolute favourites, as a panoramic terrace it is certainly among the best: clean and tidy, partly paved with the usual light and dark cubes, also forming various drawings, is completely shaded by many trees, except near the railing that delimits it to the east, where you look out for the panorama, with many benches and a central baroque fountain (too bad it wasn't working); in one corner there is the monument dedicated to Eduardo Coelho and obviously there is a bar; approximately halfway along the railing there is a panel of polychrome azulejos which reproduces the view from this viewpoint, indicating the main visible points of interest. The level below is more secluded and less frequented, where there is a further rectangular terrace with geometric flower beds that follow one another between benches and busts on pedestals (several damaged however); on the left wall (the one that supports the upper terrace) there is another fountain. Since the view is mainly towards the east, the best time to see it is in the late afternoon or at sunset (and not early in the morning, when we inopportunely went there).

One of the excellent view points in the middle of the city only requiring some physical investment from your end. It requires a small but steep walk from Baixa-Chiado or Av. da Liberdade and suddenly the city opens up with a lovely view on sites like the Lisbon Castle. Even the Google Look Around function provides you a 1 indication what you can expect. There is of course nothing better than the real thing 😜 Maybe you even get lucky and can join one of the numerous events 🍹

Nice view from this platform with an explanatory plan. Beautiful space, a beautiful fountain and a superb sculpture that pays tribute to the heritage of the printing press and the newspaper editions of the Bairro Alto sector. The bronze bust of Edouardo Coelho, creator of the Journal "Dario de Noticias" and a young man, newspaper salesman. A superb work. To see.

This place, in the High City, is the favorite of tourists for its easy access. And still next to the landing point of the Glory Elevator. You have a good view of the downtown and the Castle of São Jorge on the hill on the other side.

After moving into the hotel room we immediately set out to explore Lisbon. A slight incline, next to the tracks of the "Elvador da Gloria" and a few stairs up - already we stood on the Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara. A beautiful, well-kept place with fantastic views! Also the arrangement over several levels, with lots of seating and a kiosk is very nice. By now it was early evening and so we went on to find a nice restaurant. Otherwise we would have stayed even longer, because this place invites you to linger...

This was our first lookout we visited in Lisbon and the views did not disappoint. We came just as the evening started and were able to take a lot of great photos. The azulejo was a very useful reference to identify all the different buildings seen from this lookout.

We're back after 10 years, it looked somewhat sloppy, maybe because there was a little verbena in the garden. Magnificent views of the other Lisbon, Saint George Castle and the Alfama. It is worth it as an appetizer of the upper neighborhood.

Very nice viewpoint (normally reachable thanks to a funicular that was unfortunately under renovation) Great views of the city, ideal for a break. Presence of a nice fountain and a kiosk to drink a drink. Better enough tourist
