Watch the light change over Alfama from Miradouro das Portas do Sol. Spend 45 minutes taking in terracotta rooftops, church domes, and the Tagus at golden hour.
Full description
Miradouro das Portas do Sol overlooks the traditional red-roofed houses of Alfama, with church domes and the Tagus River spread out below. Reviewers rate it among the best sunset stops in the district, and it is free and open around the clock.
A visit of about 45 minutes lets you enjoy the view and wander the surrounding Alfama streets. It pairs naturally with other nearby miradouros, though each offers a slightly different angle on the same rooftop scene.

Amazing view of the Alfama neighborhood and the waterfront. Walking down the streets along with historic trams is a charm.
