This Colorful Seaside Capital Could Be Europe’s Most Beautiful City

1. Praça do Comércio

Praça do Comércio, also known as Terreiro do Paço, is one of the largest and most majestic squares in Lisbon. This grand square opens directly onto the Tagus River and is surrounded by bright yellow Pombaline buildings.

The earthquake of 1755 devastated the square and much of Lisbon. After the disaster, the famous Marquês of Pombal led the rebuilding, and the area was reconstructed with some of the world’s first anti-seismic buildings.

At the center of the square stands the statue of King José I on horseback, and the impressive Rua Augusta Arch marks the entrance from the city.

Praça do Comércio is one of the liveliest squares in Lisbon, making it a perfect place to experience the energy of the city, whether during the quieter morning hours or in the midst of the bustling evening crowds.

📸 Photography tips: come early, bring a wide-angle lens, and use a telephoto lens for some details.

2. Rua Augusta Arch

Next to Praça do Comércio, you will find Rua Augusta Arch, connecting the square to the Baixa district. This iconic arch is one of Lisbon’s most notable landmarks and a must-see when exploring the city.

From the square, you can admire statues of Jupiter and prominent historical figures such as Vasco da Gama and the Marquês of Pombal. Rua Augusta itself is a lively street full of shops, cafes, and impressive architecture, making it a highlight of the Baixa neighborhood.

You can also climb to the top of the arch for panoramic views over Praça do Comércio, Rua Augusta, and the Tagus River. The arch is open from 10 am to 7 pm, and the entrance fee is 4.50 euros.

For a unique perspective of the arch, visit Fábrica da Nata on Rua Augusta. They serve excellent pastel de nata and offer a charming view from the second floor, along with a beautifully tiled azulejos panel that captures Lisbon’s traditional charm.

3. Lisbon Cathedral

The Lisbon Cathedral, or Sé de Lisboa, is the city’s oldest church, dating back to the 12th century. It has withstood numerous earthquakes and showcases a fascinating mix of architectural styles, including Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque.

You can wander the winding streets around the cathedral and soak in the historic charm of the Alfama district. The iconic Tram 28 passes right in front of the Sé de Lisboa, adding to the lively atmosphere of the area.

If you decide to go inside the cathedral, the entrance fee is 5 euros. It is open from 10 am to 6 pm from Monday to Saturday, giving you the chance to experience Lisbon’s long and layered history firsthand.

4. Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Igreja de Santa Luzia

Miradouro de Santa Luzia is a must-visit spot in Alfama. From this poetic viewpoint, you get a fantastic view over the rooftops of Alfama and the blue waters of the Tagus River.

Praça Júlio de Castilho and Igreja de Santa Luzia feature some of the most beautiful azulejos in Lisbon, including representations of the Terreiro do Paço before the 1755 earthquake and Martim Moniz. During the warmer months, bougainvillea blooms throughout the garden, adding vibrant colors to the scene.

This is one of my favorite viewpoints in Lisbon. While other miradouros offer wider panoramic views, I love the combination here of the terraces, azulejos, a cozy patio, and a traditional Portuguese church.

5. History of Lisbon Mural by Nuno Saraiva

Hidden between Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol, the History of Lisbon Mural by Nuno Saraiva is one of the city’s most underrated spots.

Alfama is full of beautiful corners, and it’s easy to overlook places like this. With this guide, you can make sure you don’t miss some of the most interesting and historic spots in the neighborhood.

As the name suggests, the mural depicts scenes from the history of Lisbon and offers a unique view of São Vicente de Fora. Sometimes the mural is covered with graffiti (which is regularly refreshed), but it’s still worth visiting for its historical and artistic value.

6. Miradouro das Portas do Sol

A few steps from Miradouro de Santa Luzia, you’ll find Miradouro das Portas do Sol, another must-visit spot in Alfama. The view from Portas do Sol feels familiar yet offers a completely different perspective.

While Santa Luzia provides a higher, more distant view emphasizing the rooftops and the church of Santo Estêvão, Portas do Sol lets you see Alfama as if it were a living painting, with the entire district spread out before you.

From this viewpoint, you can also admire the National Pantheon and the church of São Vicente de Fora, which aren’t as clearly visible from Santa Luzia, making it a unique place to take in the neighborhood’s charm.

7. Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora

While Igreja de São Vicente de Fora is one of the top Lisbon attractions, the Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora is often overlooked. You’ll want to visit the monastery to explore one of Lisbon’s most impressive historic sites.

The complex includes a cloister, a chapter house, and a library. The monastery is especially known for its stunning tile panels, which depict scenes from the life of Saint Vincent and other biblical stories. You can also enjoy remarkable views from the top of the building.

You can easily spend a couple of hours exploring Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora and taking in its history, architecture, and views.

It is open every day from 10 am to 6 pm and the last admission is at 5 pm. An adult ticket costs 8 euros, but you can get a reduced fare if you are under 25, over 65, or have a Lisbon Card. Children under the age of 12 can visit for free.

8. National Pantheon

The National Pantheon is one of the most beautiful attractions in Lisbon. Located in the historic Alfama district, this majestic building stands out for its striking white dome, visible from many parts of the city.

Inside, you’ll find the final resting places of notable figures like Amália Rodrigues, the queen of Fado, and presidents such as Manuel de Arriaga and Óscar Carmona. There are also cenotaphs for Luís de Camões and Vasco da Gama, among others.

The interior is as beautiful as the exterior and deserves a visit. The Pantheon is closed on Mondays, but during the rest of the week, it is open from 10 am to 5 pm. The entrance fee is 8 euros and you can buy your ticket here.

9. Feira da Ladra

Feira da Ladra is the oldest flea market in Lisbon, and its name translates to the “Thieves’ Market,” reflecting its origins as a place where stolen goods were sold.

Over the centuries, the market has moved several times before settling in its current location at Campo de Santa Clara in the 19th century. It stretches from the monastery of São Vicente de Fora to the National Pantheon.

The market is known for its eclectic mix of goods, ranging from antiques and vintage items to modern crafts and everyday objects.

You can wander among stalls filled with old books, vinyl records, vintage clothing, hand-crafted jewelry, ceramics, furniture, and much more, making it a vibrant and historic part of Lisbon to explore.

📅 Feira da Ladra is held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, from 9 am to 5 (Tue) or 7 pm (Sat). I recommend visiting around noon when the market is at its peak.

10. Rua da Galé

Rua da Galé is a small alley tucked away in the Alfama district. Alfama is a great neighborhood to wander and discover hidden corners, and Rua da Galé is one of those spots that can easily be missed.

This quiet alley doesn’t get crowded, so you can visit any time and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

While you are there, don’t miss Casa São Miguel. It is one of the cutest pastry shops in Lisbon and serves high-quality local treats. The charming facade and cozy interior make it a delightful stop while exploring Alfama.

11. National Tile Museum

Every art lover has to visit the National Tile Museum in Lisbon. The museum features a wide collection of tiles spanning over five centuries and takes you on a journey through Portugal’s tile-making tradition.

It is known for its impressive collection of azulejos, which includes decorative panels, individual tiles, and architectural elements from churches, palaces, and private residences throughout Portugal.

The Chapel, located inside the museum, is one of the most breathtaking places that I have seen. Beyond the golden details and artwork, you will find even more azulejos in this chapel.

It is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. The museum is closed on Sundays. The entrance fee is 8 euros and you can get your National Tile Museum entrance ticket here.

12. Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara

Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara is another must-visit viewpoint, offering some of the best views in Lisbon. Located in the Bairro Alto district, this terraced garden provides a sweeping perspective of Castelo de São Jorge, the Tagus River, and the city below.

The viewpoint has a lively atmosphere, often featuring street performers, while the garden beneath the platform offers a peaceful retreat with multiple benches. In December, it hosts charming Christmas markets where you can enjoy festive treats.

Whether you visit during the day or at sunset, Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara is a perfect spot to take in the beauty of Lisbon and appreciate the city from above.

13. Santa Justa Lift

The Santa Justa Lift, or Elevador de Santa Justa, is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks. This neo-Gothic structure was designed by Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, an apprentice of Gustave Eiffel, and offers impressive views of the city from its top platform.

The detailed ironwork and historical significance of the lift make it a standout feature in Lisbon’s cityscape. It takes on a different charm when illuminated at night, adding to the city’s character.

Because of long lines and the very short 5-minute ride, you might choose to admire the lift from the ground rather than taking it, unless you find a short queue early in the day or during the low season.

14. Rossio Square

Rossio Square, or Praça de D. Pedro IV, is one of Lisbon’s liveliest and most historic squares. The square is known for its wavy mosaic pavements, called calçada Portuguesa, and its two ornate fountains.

The most iconic building in the square is the Rossio Train Station. This landmark is one of the prettiest places in Lisbon, celebrated for its Neo-Manueline façade, a style that appears in several notable buildings across the city.

15. Casa do Alentejo

Casa do Alentejo is one of the best-kept secrets in Lisbon. The entrance of Casa do Alentejo can be easily overlooked if you’re not familiar with the location, so keep Google Maps around.

Built in the late 19th century as a palace for the Counts of Valenças, the Casa do Alentejo is a stunning example of Neo-Moorish architecture, featuring intricate tilework, ornate stucco decorations, and elegant Moorish arches. 

Originally constructed as a private residence, the building underwent a series of transformations after the family abandoned it. It served first as a casino, then as a social club, and even functioned as a school for a while.

The second floor of Casa do Alentejo hosts a beautiful restaurant, which is beautiful to see and photograph, but not so great when it comes to food and service. It is open from midday to 3 pm and from 7 pm to 10.30 pm, so I recommend visiting during this time frame.

16. Elevador do Lavra

The Elevador do Lavra is Lisbon’s oldest funicular, dating back to 1884. This charming yellow tram carries passengers up the steep Calçada do Lavra, connecting the Avenida da Liberdade with the Torel district.

Most tourists focus on Bica, Glória Funicular, Santa Justa, or Tram 28 and completely miss out on Elevador do Lavra. And do you know what is the best part? It brings you to the Pena area of Lisbon which holds many more hidden gems of Lisbon.

On top of that, this is your chance to get some amazing photos with the iconic yellow elevator any time of the day without fighting for a spot with other tourists and selfie sticks.

The lower stop is marked as Lavra – Lg. Anunciada on Google Maps and the upper stop is Lavra – R. Câmara Pestana. It is a short 5-minute ride but trying Elevador in Lisbon is a must and Elevador do Lavra offers a much more relaxing experience than other places.

17. Jardim do Torel and Calçada de Sant’Ana

Once you reach the top of the Elevador do Lavra, head directly to Jardim do Torel. This park is one of the most relaxing places in Lisbon and the view of the city is just a cherry on the cake. This park is loved by locals but is a complete gem among tourists.

Later on, make sure you head to Calçada de Sant’Ana and walk all the way down until you reach Praça do Rossio. Or you can walk the other way and head to Martim Moniz Square next.

If you ask me, this is one of the prettiest streets in Lisbon. You can see typical Portuguese houses, visit Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Pena, and don’t miss the residence of the famous Portuguese singer Amália Rodrigues.

At the top of Calçada de Sant’Ana, you will find Torel Palace Lisbon, which is one of the best hotels in Lisbon with a view. If you are not a guest, you can still visit Black Pavilion Restaurant, which offers a fantastic panorama of Lisbon.

18. Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês

If you love photography, visiting the Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês is an absolute must. Located in the heart of Santos, the facade is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture, and it is another hidden gem in Lisbon.

The Church of Nossa Senhora das Mercês was originally founded in the 13th century by the Order of Mercy. The current building, however, dates back to the 18th century, when it was rebuilt in the Baroque style after sustaining damage from the devastating earthquake of 1755.

The opening times are very limited and I personally have never seen it open, despite visiting during opening times as indicated on Google. But if you find it open, make sure you see the interior as well.

19. Largo do Intendente

Largo do Intendente is a charming square known for its vibrant atmosphere, historic architecture, and cultural diversity. Situated in the Intendente neighborhood, this square has undergone significant revitalization, but I still consider it Lisbon’s hidden gem.

The square is surrounded by colorful buildings, many of which have been renovated and repurposed into trendy cafes, restaurants, and shops. The architecture of the square reflects Lisbon’s rich heritage, with a mix of Baroque, Neoclassical, and Art Nouveau styles.

The highlight of the square is the old Historic Viúva Lamego Ceramic Factory right next to the A Vida Portuguesa, which is a must-visit shop in Lisbon.

20. Convento do Carmo

The Carmo Convent is one of Lisbon’s most fascinating historical sites. The convent was partially destroyed in the 1755 earthquake, leaving behind an open-air structure. This disaster struck on November 1st, All Saints’ Day when the convent was filled with locals.

Founded in 1389, the convent is built in the Gothic Manueline style, making it one of the rare examples of this architecture in Lisbon. After the earthquake, the convent was left without a roof as a tribute to the victims.

It is open from 10 am to 6 or 7 pm depending on the season. The convent is closed on Sundays. The adult entrance fee is 7 euros, but reduced fares are available. If you have a Lisbon card, it will cost you 5 euros instead.

21. Pink Street

Pink Street or Rua Nova do Carvalho, is one of Lisbon’s most famous Instagram spots. The bold pink color of the street contrasts beautifully with the surrounding buildings, creating a perfect setting for photos of Lisbon.

When it comes to photography, it can be tricky to photograph Pink Street. Normally, I would suggest visiting early in the morning to avoid crowds; however, if you arrive before cleaning services, you will find it very dirty, especially after a busy nightlife.

Therefore, I would recommend visiting on a weekday and arriving around 8/9 am. Alternatively, I think it is a great photo spot in the evening and the crowds add a perfect liveliness to your photos.

22. Ascensor da Bica

If there is one funicular in Lisbon you shouldn’t miss, it’s the Ascensor da Bica. Running through the narrow, steep Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, this funicular travels through one of the city’s most charming streets.

The colorful buildings, traditional tiles, and occasional glimpses of the Tagus River make the area around Ascensor da Bica a highlight of Lisbon. You can start or end your walk at the upper stop at Largo do Calhariz to fully enjoy the atmosphere of this historic neighborhood.

The elevator starts to work at 7 am, but even before that, one of them is parked at the Largo do Calhariz. If you want to see the clean elevator without the graffiti, you will need to wait for the parked elevator to make its way to the top (around 7.15 am).

Once it reaches the upper stop, it stays parked for 10 minutes, which gives you time to take all the photos. For a different perspective, head to the Tv. da Laranjeira, which is on the right corner of the main road if you are walking from the top.

23. Mouraria & Rua João do Outeiro

Mouraria is one of Lisbon’s most historic and multicultural neighborhoods, known for its rich cultural heritage, vibrant atmosphere, and narrow winding streets. Located just east of the city center, Mouraria is steeped in history and has long been associated with Lisbon’s Moorish past.

Today, Mouraria retains much of its traditional charm, with its labyrinthine streets, historic buildings, and lively squares. You can wander through its narrow alleys, and take photos of the colorful facades, ornate tiles, and hidden courtyards. 

I would say that Mouraria is a less popular cousin of Alfama which means that you can enjoy historical Lisbon without big crowds and busy streets. And Rua João do Outeiro is probably the best starting point to explore Mouraria.

This street is one of the lesser-known Lisbon spots that you won’t find in other Lisbon guides. Once you reach Jasmim da Mouraria, make sure you stop by the cute square.

24. Miradouro da Senhora do Monte

Miradouro da Senhora do Monte is one of Lisbon’s highest and most breathtaking viewpoints. Located in the Graça neighborhood, this miradouro offers a wide panoramic view over Lisbon.

From Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, you can see everything from the red-tiled rooftops of Alfama to the majestic Castelo de São Jorge, the Tagus River, and the distant Ponte 25 de Abril. 

The viewpoint is also home to the small chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte, which adds a touch of serenity to the bustling cityscape below.

25. Embaixada

EmbaiXada is housed in a historic Moorish palace and inside you will find several concept stores, designers, and even a restaurant that is famous for its gin cocktail selection. Despite all the shops, it feels like you are visiting a museum.

All the beautiful details and unique architecture make it one of the most Instagrammable places in Lisbon. So even if you are not planning to shop or eat & drink, you can still visit Embaixada and take some wonderful Lisbon postcards.

It is open every day from midday to 8 pm with an exception for Sundays when it works from 11 am to 7 pm. Since it is a shopping center, there is no entrance fee and you can visit Embaixada for free.

26. Streets of Bairro Alto

Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon’s most vibrant neighborhoods, known for its lively nightlife, narrow streets, and colorful buildings. The area comes alive at night, with bars and restaurants spilling out onto the cobblestone streets.

By day, Bairro Alto offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for exploring. The narrow streets are adorned with street art, azulejos, and vibrant facades, giving the neighborhood a unique and dynamic charm.

I recommend taking Rua da Rosa from Bica and simply wandering through the area. While there aren’t specific landmarks to focus on, you’ll discover many charming corners, quaint buildings, and hidden details that make Bairro Alto special.

If you visit in the evening during the summer, you can experience the lively atmosphere and festive decorations, particularly in June.

27. Tram 28

Tram 28 is one of Lisbon’s most iconic symbols, offering a scenic ride through some of the city’s most historic neighborhoods. The tram winds its way through narrow streets, steep hills, and past famous landmarks.

When I first moved to Lisbon, I would snap a picture of the Tram 28 every time it would pass by (and it was a lot considering that my office was located in central Lisbon!). If you want to be prepared, you will want to save the best Tram 28 photo spots in Lisbon.

And in case you want to enjoy the ride on the iconic Tram 28, you will want to read this Tram 28 travel guide. We have put together great local insights and ways to avoid long lines & crowds.

28. Estrela Basilica and Jardim da Estrela

The Estrela Basilica, or Basílica da Estrela, is one of Lisbon’s most beautiful churches. Built-in the late 18th century, the basilica’s baroque and neoclassical design, with its massive dome and twin bell towers, dominates the surrounding area.

First, you will want to explore the interior of the Basilica, which is accessible for free. For a different perspective, head up to the terrace which requires a 5 euro entrance fee.

Nearby, Jardim da Estrela is a peaceful garden that offers a serene setting to relax and take in the surroundings. The garden provides a lovely view of the basilica framed by trees and flowers, making it a perfect spot to enjoy the charm of this area.

29. Belem Tower

Belem Tower is one of Lisbon’s top attractions. This UNESCO World Heritage site was built in the 16th century as a fortress to protect the city’s harbor and nowadays, it is part of the 7 Wonders of Portugal.

The tower’s stunning Manueline architecture, combined with its location on the banks of the Tagus River, makes it one of the best places to visit in Lisbon.

When it comes to the interior, there is not much to see inside the Belem Tower and it can be visited in 30 minutes. Unless you have a lot of free time and you decide to purchase a Lisbon Card, don’t waste your time with the interior.

30. Monument of the Discoveries

Another must-see spot in Belem is the Monument of the Discoveries, which is located right next to the Belem Tower. It symbolizes Lisbon and Portugal’s golden Age of Exploration.

Despite honoring historical times, the monument is relatively new. It was built in 1939 and inaugurated on August 9, 1960. It features notable figures from Portuguese history, including Henry the Navigator, Vasco da Gama, and Afonso V.

Few people know that you can go to the top of the Monument of the Discoveries. A short elevator ride takes you to a fantastic view of the Monastery, the Belem Hills, and the iconic Mappa Mundi next to the monument.

You don’t need to pay to see the exterior of the monument, but the elevator to the top will cost you 10 euros. If you have a Lisbon Card, you have free access to Monument of the Discoveries. You can see the monument any time of the time, but the upper part is open from 10 am to 7 pm.

31. Jerónimos Monastery

The Monastery of Jeronimos is one of the most impressive religious buildings in all of Portugal and one of the most impressive sights of Belem.

The story of Jerónimos Monastery begins in the early 16th century. King Manuel I commissioned its construction in 1501 to commemorate Vasco da Gama’s successful voyage to India in 1498. This is another sight in Lisbon that resisted the earthquake of 1755.

The cloister is undoubtedly the most interesting part of the monastery. The monastery also hosts the Museum of Archeology which is now closed for renovation and plans to reopen in 2026.

Attached to the monastery find the Church of Santa Maria de Belém. It’s one of the best free places to see in Lisbon, and you don’t want to miss it when visiting Belem!

The monastery opens at 9.30 am, so I recommend arriving a bit before opening time to enjoy the place without big crowds. As an alternative, you can visit a few hours before closing time which is at 6 pm. Please note that the monastery is closed on Mondays.

The entrance ticket costs 12 euros and you can buy it here. If you have a Lisbon card, you can access Jerónimos Monastery for free.

32. Garden Vasco da Gama and Pavilhão Sala Thai

During your Belem itinerary, you should stop at the Garden Vasco da Gama located in the heart of Belem. Named after the famous Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, the garden pays tribute to his contributions to the Age of Discovery.

Pavilhão Sala Thai is one of the highlights of the garden and a hidden gem in Belem. This is a little piece of Thailand in Portugal and I am sure you didn’t expect to see anything like that when visiting Belem.

The Sala Thai is a 22-foot-high Thai pavilion gifted by Thailand to Portugal. It was installed in the Belém Gardens in late 2011 to mark the 500th anniversary of the Portuguese arrival in Thailand. Built-in Bangkok, the pavilion was shipped to Lisbon.

33. Ler Devagar in LX Factory

LX Factory is one of the most popular locations in Lisbon. It is housed in an old factory in the area of Alcantara. The space counts several art galleries, bars, boutiques, and Ler Devagar, which you have seen all over social media. 

It is the highlight of the LX factory one of the most famous bookstores in all of Portugal (maybe even the world?!). I am sure you will want to see this bookshop and take some iconic photos as well.

Every Sunday you can find a flea market with vintage clothing and art, but during the rest of the week, you can shop in one of the many local boutiques. It also features a lot of street art, perfect for photo lovers.

It is open from 10.30 am to 10.30 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 10.30 pm on weekends. Despite the opening times, there is no entrance fee.

34. Santo Amaro Chapel and 25th of April Bridge

While the chapel itself is not the most impressive place in Lisbon, it offers a fantastic and very unique view of the 25 de Abril Bridge, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

From my experience, this is one of those places that tends to stand out more than expected. Many people end up enjoying this spot the most because of its perspective and relaxed setting.

If you come here in the evening, you can enjoy a particularly beautiful atmosphere as the light changes over the bridge. You’ll often see locals and kids playing nearby, and since it’s not a major tourist attraction, it feels calm and laid-back compared to other parts of Lisbon.

35. Fronteira Palace

Located further away from central Lisbon, Palace Fronteira definitely deserves to be on your Lisbon itinerary. It is a magnificent 17th-century mansion known for its exquisite azulejos (traditional Portuguese tiles), lush gardens, and rich history.

Constructed in 1640 by Dom João de Mascarenhas, the first Marquess of Fronteira, the palace served as a private residence for the noble family and remains their home to this day. Yes, that is right. And despite that, you can still have access to the palace.

While the palace itself is one of a kind, visiting gardens is one of my personal favorites. Designed in the formal Baroque style, the gardens are divided into terraces and feature manicured hedges, statues, fountains, and ornamental lakes.

And can we talk a bit more about tiles again? It is one of the best places to see azulejos in Lisbon, considering the massive tile work featured in the gardens and interior of the palace.

If you are planning to visit the interior of the palace, you will need to join a guided tour. Available time slots are limited, so plan accordingly. You can pick a suitable time and buy your ticket here. Gardens are open from Monday to Saturday from 9.30 am to 6 pm (last entry at 5.30 pm).

Entrance ticket is 7 euros and kids under 12 can enter for free. You can purchase your ticket here or at the entrance of the complex.

36. Estufa Fria

If you’re looking for a hidden spot in Lisbon, head to Estufa Fria inside Parque Eduardo VII. It’s central, easy to reach, and surprisingly calm compared to the city’s busier viewpoints.

The glass structure creates a peaceful indoor garden environment that you can enjoy at any time of day. Because it’s rarely crowded, you can take your time walking through the different sections and appreciating the variety of plants and tranquil atmosphere.

If you’re looking for quieter places in Lisbon or want a break from the more popular viewpoints, Estufa Fria is worth adding to your list. It’s one of those places that shows how some of the most beautiful spots in Lisbon can be hidden in plain sight.

37. Amoreiras 360º Panoramic View

If you want a 360º view over Lisbon without fighting crowds at the classic miradouros, head to Amoreiras 360º Panoramic View. It’s one of those places many visitors don’t even know exists, even though it gives you one of the most complete views of the city.

From the top, you can see Lisbon from every angle: the Tagus River, the 25 de Abril Bridge, Cristo Rei, downtown rooftops, and even the Basilica of Estrela.

In case you’re searching for unique viewpoints in Lisbon or want to explore beyond miradouros and trams, Amoreiras 360º Panoramic View is an easy win.

38. Green Street

Green Street, also known as Rua Verde, is one of those cute spots in Lisbon that feels designed for the camera. Tucked away near Cais do Sodré, this short street stands out for one simple reason: it’s completely covered in greenery.

As you walk through Rua Verde, plants hang overhead, climb the façades, and frame the street from end to end. Your camera will love the contrast between the plants and the traditional Lisbon buildings.
