@mataharidharma After living in lisbon 🇵🇹 for 2.5 years and visiting my fair share of miradouros throughout the city, here are my absolute favorite top 7 that you NEED to visit: 1. Miradouro das Portas do Sol - this is going to be one of the most popular viewpoints, but the views of Alfama and Rio Tejo are amazing. It’s a great spot to take a much needed walking break and enjoy a drink at one of the kiosks. 2. Miradouro de Santa Luzia - It’s only about 50m from Miradouro das Portas do Sol. There’s a beautiful pergola with grapevines, a church, and you can almost always catch some live music. I would definitely come for sunrise or off-peak hours to avoid crowds. 3. Miradouro do Jardim do Torel - This is one of my favorite hidden gems in Lisbon. This is a beautiful garden boasting views of Baixa and Avenida da Liberdade, but what makes this place extra special is this pool with an 18th century mermaid statue. 4. Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara - another popular one, but also one of the biggest miradouros in Lisbon, so it doesn’t feel so crowded. It’s located in Misericórdia and offers panoramic views of the city. Solid spot to have a drink at the kiosk and enjoy the views. 5. Miradouro de Santo Amaro - This one is really hidden and mostly frequented by locals because it’s a bit out of the center in Alcântara, but most certainly worth the visit for the unobstructed views of the Tejo river and the 25th of April Bridge. The miradouro is built around a chapel that was built to honor Santo Amaro, protector of those who travel the sea. You’ll find a dog park with arguably the best views of lisbon. 6. Miradouro da Senhora do Monte - the best view on this list IMO. It’s located on Graça’s highest point. You’ll also find one of my favorite outdoor bars, Secret Garden LX, just in case you fancy a sunset beverage after trekking up to this viewpoint 🥂 7. Miradouro das Rocha Conde de Óbidos - another amazing, off the beaten path miradouro. This one is located in front of the port and next to the National Museum of Ancient Art in Santos. Phenomenal place for sunset too 🌅 Definitely check these miradouros out and let me know if I missed any 🙂 #lisbon #lisbonmiradouros #miradouro #thingstodoinlisbon #lisbontips #lisbontiktok #lisbonlovers ♬ Life Will Be - Cleo Sol

🌅 The City That Glows to a Soulful Pulse

The mood of Célia’s 1970 track “To Be” drifts through Lisbon like a soft, amber haze — a song born from Brazil’s soulful, psychedelic era, carrying themes of identity, longing, and quiet emotional searching that mirror the way the city transforms at dusk. As the sun melts into the Tagus and the miradouros glow with honey‑colored light, the introspective spirit of Célia’s album feels perfectly at home: reflective, intimate, and suspended between past and present. Each sunset sanctuary becomes a visual echo of the song’s emotional palette — places where the city slows down, breathes deeply, and invites you to simply be, just as Célia once sang from the heart of 1970s Brazilian soul.

Lisbon’s sunsets are more than a daily spectacle — they’re a ritual that unveils the city’s most intimate self.

Each golden hour reveals a Lisbon shaped by memory, music, and the quiet glow of places where time seems to loosen its grip.

🌇 Miradouro da Senhora do Monte — The City in a Single Breath

From this hilltop sanctuary, Lisbon stretches out like a living tapestry, rooftops blushing under the last light. Couples, musicians, and wanderers gather here to watch the city soften into gold, each sunset a reminder of how Lisbon holds both grandeur and tenderness in the same frame.

🌉 Miradouro de Santa Catarina — Where the River Learns to Shine

Overlooking the Tagus, this lookout feels like a balcony suspended between sky and water. As the sun dips, the river becomes a sheet of molten light, and the city’s hum blends with the soft strum of street musicians who turn dusk into a quiet celebration.

🕊️ Jardim do Torel — A Hidden Garden Above the Noise

Torel is where Lisbon exhales — a peaceful garden perched above the city’s rush, offering a slower, more contemplative sunset. The light filters through trees, casting long shadows across benches and pathways, creating a moment of stillness that feels almost secret.

🌊 Cais das Colunas — Where History Meets the Horizon

At the edge of Praça do Comércio, marble steps descend into the river, catching the sun like polished stone. Here, the sunset feels ceremonial: the Tagus glows, ferries drift by, and Lisbon’s centuries‑old façade becomes a golden stage for the day’s final act.

🏖️ Praia da Adraga — The Atlantic’s Fiery Curtain Call

Just beyond the city, Adraga offers a wilder, more dramatic sunset — cliffs carved by time, waves crashing in rhythmic applause. As the sky burns orange and violet, the beach becomes a natural amphitheater where Lisbon’s coastal soul reveals its rawest beauty.
