Cabo da Roca is the westernmost point in Europe and is well worth the trip from wherever you are on the Iberian peninsula. Windy, craggy, magnificent views of of the crashing surf; we could have spent hours here. Sadly, we were on an otherwise fabulous bus tour and only had 40 minutes. Bring lunch and take your time!

Of the many viewpoints in Lisbon, this is the highest, and the best, wellworth the effort to find. It is just a short walk up from the Graca church (follow the tram lines then turn left and right, up the steep hill). Fantastic views, particularly as the sun is setting, of this beautiful city. Look out for the two boards showing you what you can see from the viewpoint

Heard about the different viewpoints of Lisbon andcthiszwas one we had to see - instead if the steep uphill walk we were brought here by tuk tuk at 50 euros per hour . The driver gave us some commentary about the history of the views where we saw the castle and the seven hills of Lisbon as well as the different districts - the place was pleasant printable great pictures and we stopped for 15 mins here - there are 3 to 4 views you just cannot miss Herr - the town however was a bit unkept and litter on street free views so budget friendly

We quickly learnt that in Lisbon anything with the word ‘miradouro’ in the name was worth going to. It roughly translates as ‘viewpoint’. This is the most photographed viewpoint in Lisbon. The large, open terrace is almost like a balcony, looking out across Lisbon. From here you get an expansive view over the red terracotta rooftops of the Alfama, looking down across Lisbon to the water. I wish we’d known a little more of what we were looking at while we were there. For future reference: * the statue in front of the view is St Vincent, patron saint of Lisbon. * the large building on the skyline is the monastery of Sao Vicente de Fora. * the chalky-white dome is the Pantheon (or the church of Santa Engrácia) * the white church in the distance is the Baroque church of Santo Estevão (St Stephen). Before you leave, don’t-miss the hidden tunnel and Santa Luzia. The tunnel is tucked away below the lookout and is covered in a colourful, fun mural that tells the history of Lisbon in cartoon panels (look for the set of stairs to the right of the statue). Santa Luzia is basically next to the lookout and if you go around the back of the church there’s another lookout point. It’s less expansive but gives a different angle however what makes it really special, are the beautiful panels of traditional blue and white azujelos tiles. GETTING THERE: It’s very easy to get here and I’d highly recommend catching the famous #28 tram which takes you right to the lookout. It is also an excellent starting point for exploring the St Jorge Castle. From here, we walked about 10-15 minutes uphill, following the brown ‘Castelo de S.Jorge’ signs.

Lisbon's highest viewpoint is waiting for you with a unique view over the portuguese capital and its most iconic landmarks. An exceptional experience on the top of the Amoreiras Shopping Center which is in itself one of the highlights of the city's landscape and shopping experience. Open everyday.

I recently returned from Lisbon, and made an effort to get to Amoreiras Shopping Center this time around. The rooftop observation deck was fantastic. I've visited Portugal many times, and can't believe I hadn't made it here before, now that I know what a treat it is. It was a cool windy day, but clear, and the 360-degree vista was well worth the 5 Euro entrance fee. Having a prior reference of the landmarks from the street level view only, this was such an education, and so impressive. I will do this again when I return to Portugal. Tip: be mindful of the closing and last-admit times.

Right at famous "Baixa Lisboeta", at the end of "Rua Augusta", you will find an awesome triumphal arch. It was aimed to commemorate Lisbon's reconstruction after the terrible 1755 earthquake. Its construction started right after the earthquake and lasted until the 19th century. At its top, a panoramic terrace was inaugurated in 2013, overlooking "Praça do Comércio", "Rio Tejo" and the "Baixa Lisboeta" itself. Entry fees at E$3,00 per person. Unmissable! Enjoy!
10. Santuario da Peninha
