Lg. Portas Sol: Miradouro das Portas do Sol

Miradouro das Portas do Sol means gate of the Sun. A statue of Saint Vincent welcomes you to this terrace which offers the best view of the ancient Alfama neighborhood. It’s the city’s must-see viewpoint, and an irresistible stop for photos. Its panoramic view has illustrated countless postcards, showing what looks like a colorful Mediterranean village cascading down to the waterfront. It’s a mandatory stop for anyone who wants to take the best photos of old Lisbon, with the towers of the Monastery of Saint Vincent and the dome of the National Pantheon standing out in the skyline.
