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 :)

Ah, Miradouro de Santa Catarina! This simple little lookout, a patio filled with street musicians,…read moreand kids with open containers... taking in the intoxicating sites. I think this was my favorite spot in the city. It wouldn't be a Miradouro without a view, and you get a great 180-degree gander of the Tagus river and the Ponte 25 Abril bridge, from this spot. Located in the Barrio Alto neighborhood of Lisbon, near the Ascensor da Bica, this is a must-see hangout. There is an outdoor cafe literally on the patio, or a little more formal dining at Madame Petisca, on the rooftop of an adjacent hotel, or visit the nearby grocery store and make a little picnic. But find some time in your visit to Lisbon to stop and see the view, day or night. Any time between noon and late night, there is likely to be a musician playing, to improve the ambiance even more. A very cool, romantic spot to sit and take in the city.

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!

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.]

When my husband and I were on vacation in Lisbon, our tour guide drove us here, and he offered to take a photo of me under the pretty umbrellas. We were there during the daytime, and many strangers were standing on the street and ended up in my photo, and I could Magic-Eraser only some of them.
