Miradouro das Portas do Sol

Alfama and the Tagus from a broad lookout, with Santa Luzia nearby.

In short

Miradouro das Portas do Sol looks over Alfama and the Tagus from its broad lookout. Pair it with the nearby tiled garden at Santa Luzia: the two are neighbouring viewpoints, not the same place. Leave time for the streets between and beyond them, keeping narrow paths and residents’ doorways clear.

Why we send people here

Take in Alfama and the river from the broad lookout, then continue to nearby Santa Luzia for the tiled garden. They are two different pauses, not two names for the same viewpoint. Leave the narrow streets and doorways clear as you continue through the neighbourhood.
