Miradouro das Portas do Sol

Amazing view! It's a short walk out to the view and when we were there, aggressive sales people acted friendly and gave "gifts" on the way in, but then got aggressive on the way out when I refused to buy the bracelet. Just be aware.

Astonishing view over the Lisbon. Many things to notice and enjoy. Usually full of curious people. However, everyone will find the spot to observe 😌🌸

This location is a great spot to capture a picture that blends the shoreline and this historic Lisbon neighborhood, but I was disappointed that the location itself wasn't well maintained. So, we skipped grabbing a coffee and headed on our way for more street photography 📸

Great viewpoint! A must visit. We took the blue line to Santa Apolonia and walked up to Alfama and this viewpoint, then continued to castle. Great views over Lisbon!

Excellent views from this scenic spot. The hidden Secret Garden XL bar below it is a nice place to catch a sunset if you can get a table.

One of Lisbon's best observation decks. You'll see it on the right after passing the cathedral. You absolutely must visit, day or night. You can get there by tram number 28.

Completely free viewpoint! Yet, there are tons of cafes and bars nearby, so you can still enjoy the view with a drink or a meal. This miradouro is located in the middle of many historical landmarks, so you can also walk around more and visit Pantheon or other viewpoint sites as well!

Small for an observatory, but the view is enough. It was a beautiful view of the city, ocean, and cruise ships :) There is no fee, but lines to take photos at certain spots.

I would say the only good thing we experienced in the Alfama district was Portas do Sol and although it was a struggle to reach with the typical Alfama inclines, it's breathtaking panoramic views at dusk was worth it. We sat on the terrace with a drink in hand to recover and enjoy the view.

From this patio decorated with flowers, at a place where instrumentalists mingle with tourists on any given day, you'll be afforded a quintessential view of Lisbon. Miradouro das Portas do Sol literally translates as "Viewpoint of the gates of the Sun." In a panorama reminiscent of the famous shots in Santorini, Greece, with those blue domes and white buildings against the sea, you'll be able to photo Lisbon's Alfama district with red-roofed buildings stacked on parallel streets right down to the Tagus River. It's worth the 17-minute uphill walk from the Baixa-Chiado metro station, and we prefer this view to the slightly lower Miradouro de Santa Luzia viewpoint a few streets below.

This was my first view point stop as I walked through Alfama. It was a Sunday afternoon around 4 & not many tourists out so had the route up pretty much to myself. I started from the bottom & the trek up from The lower level of Alfama was about 6 minutes. Filled with steps and turns throughout the climb itself was an adventure. You get a panoramic view of the Tejo river and the neighborhoods below. The Santa Estêvão viewpoint and square are definitely worth the climb up!

WOW!! What a fantastic and amazing lookout! It's totally a view straight out of a postcard and you can see the Alfama district with its unique maze of streets, stairways and alleyways laid out in the front, with the Tejo River framing the landscape in the background. This viewpoint also lets you appreciate the variety of architectural influences in the different styles of the houses and churches We were super lucky to get a table right by the railing - the atmosphere is so chill and cozy, it really felt like I was on the balcony of a friend's house, attending a laidback party. We were seated right by the statue of Saint Vicente, who is the patron saint of Lisbon, and it's a great depiction of him holding the boat with two ravens that is the symbol of the Portuguese capital. I feel very lucky that our food tour's start location was from this viewpoint, otherwise our group might have missed checking out such a fabulous corner of Lisbon. I'd give this location a 100 stars if I could!!! Yelp 198/ 2019

Of all the miradouros (view points... basically a park located on a hill so you get a nice vista of the surrounding) in Lisbon this is my favorite. The white houses with terra cotta rooftop against the sapphire river and azure sky dotted with white cloud is simply breath-taking. If you are taking the famous tram 28, do make a stop here. It's also a easy walk down from the castle.

Another free viewpoint or lookout. Great views and easy to access. We enjoyed it.
