We tried a Old Lisbon tour and it was very nice. Then the guy suggested us to have dinner in the Atira-te ao Rio restaurant in the south side of Lisbon near the bridge and we went on the boat and had a great meal and came back on the boat to Alcantara. If you don't take the tour, you should try the restaurant and you can go by boat as well.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19525 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19350 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19350 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12256
The little kiosk does good, cheap bica's of coffee and imperial glasses of beer. If you take exception with young bohemian types playing percussion stay away. Otherwise, take a book, people watch and easily while away a few hours.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6896 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6896 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6935
Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara:
At the top of the Elevador da Gloria, looking out across to Graça and the Castelo, it has a tiled panel detailing the view.

Miradouro de Santa Catarina:
Near the Bica funicular, this hidden-away viewpoint is worth seeking out: it has a little cafe, popular with late-night clubbers. Wonderful views over the Tagus.

Miradouro das Portas do Sol:
The 28 tram sweeps past here before plunging away towards Graça. Probably the best view over the Alfama.

Miradouro Santa Luzia:
Perhaps the loveliest one of all, round the back of the Igreja de Santa Luzia, just before you get to Largo das Portas do Sol. A pretty terrace of azulejos, hung with flowers, you'll want to sit here and gaze across the Tagus for hours.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6935 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6910 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6910 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6901 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6901 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6863 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6849 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6809 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6809 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6681
When we were there, the Emperor Hirohito's son and heir were filming the amazing sunset.

Follow up with an evening meal in the Alfama district below the castle at the Esquina de Alfama for good value Portuguese food (tasty sardines!)
