Take the commuter ferry for the short trip across the Tejo river to Cacilhas (€0.60). Take a trip up the Elevador Panorâmico da Boca do Vento, a lift built into the cliff face (€1). Go at dusk when it is quiet and you can enjoy views of the sun setting behind the Ponte 25 de Abril and the Cristo Rei (a smaller version of Rio’s Christ statue).

Or you can ramble up the hill through Cacilhas on your own steam. Not a posh neighbourhood but still has a lot of nice bits. Sunset from Cristo Rei is wonderful. There's a bus that goes back down to the harbour.
