Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
A two-tiered garden viewpoint in the upper town, facing St George's Castle and Alfama, reached in moments by the Glória funicular.
This viewpoint sits on the edge of the upper town as a two-tiered garden terrace with fountains, statues and busts of famous Portuguese figures. The hillside opposite offers an unobstructed view of St George's Castle, Graça and the lower town, and tiled panels on the terrace map the locations of landmarks. There is a small open-air kiosk bar, and street music in the evenings. Free admission. The classic way up is the Glória funicular (Elevador da Glória), opened in 1885, which climbs from Restauradores Square on Avenida dos Restauradores. One-way costs about €4, and transport cards are valid. Coming back down, you'll arrive at the bar streets of the upper town.
