Miradouro da Graça (Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen)
A pine-shaded Graça terrace with a kiosk café and a wide view to the castle and downtown.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
The easy-living viewpoint — order a beer at the kiosk, sit under the trees and watch the light change over the castle ridge.
