I am SO glad someone from our hostel took us here! Not only is the view absolutely amazing, but…read moreit's a perfect place to hang out with a couple of beers and enjoy the live music. Even though it was packed, everyone seemed to find a place to sit, perch, or dance, and there were just generally good vibes all the way around. Don't be surprised if you run into familiar faces! Sunset seems to be the most popular time to be there, so if you're looking to get a bit more space to sit or are with a larger group, definitely get there early. It got cooler at night, also, so you could always just layer up and bring a sweater with you. I would also recommend a mini stash of toilet paper/tissue and some hand sanitizer, as the washrooms are pretty gnarly if you plan on squatting :)

You won't get the most spectacular city landscape views here, but this miradouro does provide…read morepanoramic views over the Tagus River and the 25 de Abril Bridge (Video). With a wide open concrete platform, it's a lot more laid back than the more crowded vista points at Miradouro das Portas do Sol and Miradouro de Santa Luzia in Alfama. I presume tourists are less inclined to scale the hillside streets that lead here because it definitely feels more like a locals' spot. Fortunately there's an adjacent kiosk cafe (Quiosque do Adamastor) should you need nourishment for your trekking efforts. It'll help make your climb down easier.

We came back later and the place was thriving with vendors and an awesome DJ! The food was amazing and i had the best churros I've ever tasted! Walking around the park and dancing to the incredible music the DJ played made for a very memorable evening. And you can see a beautiful view of the entire city!

If you're looking for Ground Zero in Lisbon, this might be the spot. Located at the crossroads…read morebetween the bohemian atmosphere of Bairro Alto and the elegant commercialism of Chiado, it's a unique public square covered in traditional black-and-white Portuguese cobblestones. Dominated by a bronze statue of Luís de Camões, Portugal's legendary 16th-century epic poet (Photo 3), the plaza is constantly circled by the city's iconic tram cars. There's an outdoor refreshment kiosk here, though Jamie W and I bypassed it for the comfort of a bench when we explored the heart of the city. The people watching was awesome.

This is one of Lisbon's major squares and in the evenings, it's quite crowded. I was here in…read moremid-December and it was decorated with a huge lighted Christmas ball. So very pretty! The trams and buses circle the plaza, the tourists are walking all through and there are restaurants all around. There is underground parking here and a public toilet. I suggest popping in to O Trevo for "bifana e cerveja" - it's a pork sandwich and a small beer. It was one of Anthony Bourdain's stops during his only visit to Lisbon. Pour some peri peri sauce on it for a kick. [Review 18996 overall - 194 in Portugal - 2520 of 2022.]

This is such a cute little colorful section of street in Lisbon!…read more A short section of the street is painted hot pink, and there's colorful umbrellas hanging all above- great for color AND some extra shade during the day! Because it's a relatively short part of the road (especially the part with the umbrellas) it can get a little busy, but it's still fun to check out and get a little photo! There's a couple restaurants that are on this street if you want to stay a bit longer than just a quick sighting or a simple walk through.

With the rainbow umbrellas and painted pink pavement, we were thinking it might be a collection of raucous gay bars much like Calle del Pecado ("Street of Sin") in Sitges. However, we arrived in the late afternoon before the nightlife activities began. What we observed were mainstream cafes and bars that apparently draw throngs of straight tourists after dark. In the light of day, it was a relative dead zone. We didn't come back in the evening for the purported debauchery since we subsequently discovered the Principe Real neighborhood, Lisbon's gay epicenter.
