Miradouro das Portas do Sol

The experience

A terrace on the edge of Alfama looking out over the neighbourhood's tiled roofs toward the National Pantheon's dome, the São Vicente de Fora church and the river. A kiosk café sits on the terrace and there are steps and a small garden below. It is one of the most photographed spots on the tram 28 route and is open 24 hours with free entry.

The classic red-roofs-and-river postcard of Alfama, straight off the tram line.
