Graça

Graça is a hillside district east of the centre, higher and quieter than neighbouring Alfama, with a stronger local, residential character. Its main draws are the miradouros, notably Senhora do Monte and Graça, which open wide views over Baixa, the castle, and the Tagus.

Between them run steep lanes, small squares, azulejo-decorated buildings, and tascas that serve mostly neighbourhood regulars. Tram 28 climbs through it, which makes arrival easy though the surrounding streets are steep.

It rewards slow walking and sunset timing, when the viewpoints fill with locals and visitors.
