Miradouro is the Portuguese word for viewing point – and one of the most amazing things about Lisbon is that there are tons of them! Viewing points are also meeting points for locals, expats and travellers alike. All of them offer a great view, obviously, some are right in the centre, others further out. Go enjoy them. Join the locals.

The majority of our favourite miradouros are also part of our routes. Play our Discovery Games in Lisbon and find them!

This piece is located on the wall of Travessa dos Fiéis de Deuswas and was painted by Sumo Doubledevil in December 2014, on the same day of the opening of his solo exhibition at the Montana Gallery. He was accompanied by DJ Glue and Mister when the police patrol came and stopped him. Luckily, people from the neighbourhood stood up for him and the police decided to turn a blind eye, instead insisting that leave right away. When the police car drove off the locals decided to keep an eye on the police patrol so he had a chance to finish the piece.

Fado Vadio is the most famous Fado graffiti in Lisbon and it’s located in the Escadinhas de São Cristóvão. Movimento dos Amigos de São Cristóvão is a project of a small group of people living in the neighbourhood that united their forces to improve and make the neighbourhood more beautiful with some talented artists. It’s said that the building where Fado Vadio graffiti is located belongs to a public company that allowed this project to happen because of they didn’t have money to restore it themselves. The paint was donated and the artists created this charming graffiti in two days. Play our discovery game across Lisbon’s Historic Neighbourhoods or go on a shorter adventure in Alfama & Baixa.

On Avenida 24 de Julho you can find a fox that is a combination of sculpture and painting. One’s trash is Bordalo II’s treasure. The fox is a part of series called Trash Animals that speak out about the problem of waste production, not reused materials, pollution and the emerging effects on the planet. He mostly uses materials found from wastelands and abandoned factories.

Miradouro Senhora do Monte is located on the highest hill of Lisbon, in the Graça neighbourhood. You can enjoy a spectacular view from there. Fun fact: as you may know Lisbon is said to be a city of 7 hills, but this one isn’t counted in that number!

This park was closed to the public for centuries, but luckily it’s now a huge green space where you can easily spend half a day relaxing and enjoying the views (of the castle as well as the bridge!). The park is also family friendly as it has a small playground and if you (or the kids!) get hungry or thirsty, the small kiosk serves small snacks and refreshing drinks.

Head to the Mouraria district for the next hidden gem! A once forgotten ‘ghetto’ in days long gone, this old town style neighbourhood is now packed with character and life, with its wonderfully multicultural population and medieval architecture. It’s worth a visit to see the less-touristy and more authentic side of central Lisbon. Just a short walk from Martim Moniz square you’ll see a police station, upon entering you’ll find the old College of Young Orphans beautifully decorated with 18th-century tiles telling stories of different biblical scenes. It’s a treat for the eyes and a staple artefact from Lisbon’s history.

In the neighbourhood of Príncipe Real, you’ll find Embaixada. The word ’embaixada’ translates to ’embassy’, but that’s not what this is. Not even close. You’ll enter a beautiful building inside of which you’ll get to explore a collection of restaurants and independent Portuguese stores. This is actually a former palace, originally called Palacete Ribeiro da Cunha. On the first floor there’s a space for arts and culture. Sounds interesting? Play our Príncipe Real game.

There are actually two Tasca do Chicos in Lisbon, one in Alfama and another in Bairro Alto. Both of them are from the same owner and have the same concept. It’s a must-see place if you are a fan of Fado (traditional, melancholic Portuguese music). Here you can have a dinner, or small bites and a good glass of wine, while listening some Fado. You can enjoy the performances on Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 21:00, we recommend arriving on time to ensure a place there. Play our games in Lisbon to find Tasca do Chico – and other great places for a drink and some live music.

The marble Basílica da Estrela is well worth a visit. From its tower you can enjoy a nice view of Lisbon and Jardim da Estrela, a magical park found just opposite to the Basilica. Locals flock to the park on sunny days for peaceful walks and a drink from the kiosk. Every Sunday there is a small market – lovely for a leisurely browse or a relaxed stroll.

This secret viewing point has a 360-degree view! It is a building that is now covered in graffiti… though it once was a restaurant! In the late 1960’s, due to bad investment decisions, the restaurant was shut down. The building was abandoned for many years before it reopened as a viewing point.

Pensão Amor is located on Pink Street, just a few minutes away from Time Out Market. It’s an interesting bar to visit due to its history. This area used to be a ‘Red Light District’ and in the building of Pensão Amor, the ladies would come to entertain their customers. You can still see influences from the past here, the moody scarlet-coloured lighting combined with burlesque-style decor housing the low hum of the bar’s diverse and intriguing crowd.
