You’ll walk around, enjoying the sights on your short stay, and will most likely come away with the opinion that Lisbon is a beautiful place (which it is!). I’ll say right off the top that if you are staying in Lisbon 7 days or less none of the below will probably apply to you. Part of that was Lisbon itself, but most of it resulted from other factors We went up the Arco da Rua Augusta (mentioned in the highlights further up) and the views were surprisingly disappointing considering its location.The Miradouro da Graça was undergoing construction when we went and again was filled with young people and drug pushers (I don’t think we’ve EVER been offered drugs as much as we have in Lisbon). Nice views but similar to those at the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte which I covered above.Īs stated at the top, we didn’t enjoy our time in Lisbon.

Jam packed with young people and dealers trying to sell you drugs. A few disappointments: Miradouro de Santa Caterina which everyone says is the place to see sunsets. This page locates most of the Miradouros for you. There’s also a snack bar where you can get a beer to cool down. I enjoyed it for the views of incoming planes.

I won’t tell you that the views are great – but it is one of the quietest of the Miradouros and you’ll see locals reading in the park. A 5 minute ride will take you up the hill from where it is a 3 minute walk to the Jardim do Torel (which is a pretty little park). Getting up here is best done taking the Lavra elevator (above). A few minutes walk from the above mentioned Santa Luzia miradouro, this lookout lacks in atmosphere but actually has better views.
