Why we send people here

Use the azulejo map to put names to the skyline: the castle, Baixa and the opposite hills. Stone steps connect the two garden terraces, so choose your route with that in mind. This is a good pause between Chiado and Príncipe Real, not a reason to rely on the Glória funicular running.
