The best view in Lisbon, I believe. I absolutely love it. It's up loads of steps (about 400 from the main city center) and steep inclines to get there, but the view is absolutely breathtaking as you turn the corner and reach the top. It's very worth it. It was rainy and gray when I went in November but it was still absolutely amazing. I'd love to go again on a clear sky day.

Took the Tram 28 up here early on a Monday morning and was not disappointed! Including us, there were five people at the top of the hill, looking down on the city. Glorious views for free, what's not to like? Definitely going early or late pays off as it is meant to get busier during the day. Take some bakery items and a book for maximum enjoyment!

Went here for sunset and this is absolutely the best spot to visit! It was quite busy though, but manageable. I was there during the week in February, so not sure about weekends or holidays.

Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is a very beautiful scenic spot of the city. The city views are spectacular and you can also see the ocean.

Very nice panoramic view of the city. Not sure if this is normal here, but today (22.01.2025), it was extremely windy at the top. Depending on which way you go, you might end up like me, climbing through stairs, which is quite exhausting.
