Lisbon is built on hills, which is wonderful to look at and exhausting to walk. This tour solves that: we drive you up every one of them, and you get out only where the view is worth it.
We start in the old town at Santa Luzia, where the tiled terrace looks straight down over Alfama’s rooftops to the Tagus. From there we work our way up through Portas do Sol and Graça to Nossa Senhora do Monte — the highest viewpoint in the city, and the one we stop at for a coffee and a warm pastel de nata.
Then we go somewhere most visitors never see. Penha de França and Jardim do Torel have the same panoramic sweep as the famous miradouros and almost none of the crowd. Your guide will probably have the terrace to themselves to explain what you’re looking at.
Three hours is exactly the time this route needs: long enough to stop properly at all eight viewpoints instead of rushing between them, and to sit down for a coffee and a warm pastel de nata at the highest one.

“Great way to see all the viewpoints without climbing uphills! Francisco is pleasant and gave good introductions to the beautiful city.”

“We wouldn't have found all of the spectacular views ourselves — some of them were off the mainstream. We got restaurant recommendations, and reservations, which were heavenly good.”
