To find the best views in Lisbon, you\u2019ll need to climb up a hill or two, but it\u2019s always worth it.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From Alfama<\/a> to Alc\u00e2ntara, there are miradouros<\/a><\/em> in pretty much every neighborhood, and each of them offers a different angle of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The miradouros<\/em> are the official viewpoints, but there are others hiding above monuments and Lisbon’s parks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you might need to climb up a few hills to reach them, but that\u2019s a small price to pay for the best views in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Miradouro das Portas do Sol: a view of Alfama<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Type in “Lisbon” on Google, and you\u2019ll probably come across a picture taken from this viewpoint. Overlooking the Alfama neighborhood, Portas do Sol provides the quintessential view of Lisbon, featuring pastel-colored buildings, the National Pantheon and the Tagus river. If you want to see the sunrise in Lisbon, this is the ideal spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip: <\/strong>You can capture a similar view of Alfama from Miradouro do Recolhimento, a hidden viewpoint located inside the castle\u2019s grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Terra\u00e7os do Carmo: the alternative to the Santa Justa Lift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most tourists will queue up outside the Santa Justa lift, but if all you want is the view from the top, you can save money and walk to Terra\u00e7os do Carmo instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What used to be the site of police barracks is now a panoramic terrace offering views of Rossio and the castle. While you\u2019re here, you can visit the ruins of the Carmo Convent<\/a> or grab a drink at the Topo Chiado<\/a>, one of the best rooftop bars in Lisbon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip:<\/strong> You can access the viewpoint of the Santa Justa lift from here instead of waiting in line at Rua de Santa Justa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Bas\u00edlica da Estrela: a church rooftop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many Lisbon monuments have a rooftop with a view, in fact, it\u2019s hard to find one without it! Set opposite the Estrela park, Bas\u00edlica da Estrela is one of the highlights of the 28 tram<\/a> route. You can visit the church for free, but for \u20ac4 you can go up to the terrace and enjoy the view of the tram lines and the 25 de Abril Bridge. In case you\u2019re wondering, it\u2019s 114 steps to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Miradouro Keil do Amaral: a hidden viewpoint in Monsanto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Monsanto is the largest green area in Lisbon and a favorite spot for picnics and hikes. There are several viewpoints around the park, but our favorite is the Keil do Amaral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, you can capture the 25 de Abril bridge and the Cristo Rei in a single frame. Locals also like to visit Panor\u00e2mico de Monsanto<\/a>, a former restaurant, now abandoned, that provides amazing views of Lisbon\u2019s skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider\u2019s tip: <\/strong>The best way to reach Monsanto is to get the 711 bus from Terreiro do Pa\u00e7o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Arco da Rua Augusta: a view of Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you walked past Rua Augusta you\u2019ve probably seen this arch, but did you know you can climb up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it was designed in 1775, it was only in 2013 that it got an elevator, allowing visitors to enter its terrace. Standing up there, you can see tiny people gathering around Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio or walking down Rua Augusta, depending on which side you\u2019re facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Miradouro Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen: best night view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the best night view in Lisbon, head to Miradouro Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen. It\u2019s a mouthful we know, so most people call it Miradouro da Gra\u00e7a, since it\u2019s in the Gra\u00e7a neighborhood<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not many tourists came this way before, but the secret got out, and now everyone comes here to see the sunset. It\u2019s busier than usual, but it\u2019s still worth the visit, and if you arrive early enough, you might get a table by the kiosk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Cristo Rei: the view from the other side<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hop on a boat to the other side of the river and enjoy the views from Cristo Rei. You don’t have to pay to go up the statue you can stay in the surrounding park and enjoy the panoramic views for free. From Bel\u00e9m to Alfama, you can see the whole of Lisbon from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
