[2025 Lisbon Attraction] Travel Guide for San Pedro Alcantara Observation Deck (Updated Jul)

It was built nearly 200 years ago and is located at one end of the Upper Town, near the Glória Elevator. It features fountains, gardens, and statues. Spread over two floors, it is always bustling and filled with artists. The highlights are the views of the castle, Alfama, Tagus, and Baixa, all illuminated by the afternoon sun. At certain times of the year, the sunlight reflects off the windows of the houses and illuminates the viewpoint. The tiled map near the railing was created in 1952 by Swiss artist Fred Kradolfer, who moved to Lisbon, and marks the visible landmarks of the area. It's also a free attraction, much better than many paid ones!

Address: R. de São Pedro de Alcântara, 1200-470 Lisboa, Portugal Opening hours: 24 hours, open all year round Mode of transportation: tram, bus It’s very lively here on holiday nights. The market gathers all kinds of vendors, selling food, drinks, handicrafts, etc. The night view here is really beautiful. You can take the Glória Funicular cable car nearby. 😀 #PARENT-CHILD GOOD PLACE #HAMMUM SUMMER GOOD PLACE #OVERSEAS TRAVEL #LISBON

After your climb through the old town Lisbon you may eventually arrive to Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara. Well, you can of course go there using the Calçada de Glória funicular (first pic) or taxi but as I climbed there I was super happy to find a place to eat a little and have a break (and of course fresh drinks). The place is practically a terrace that is built to a place from where you can have a great view over the city of Lisbon. You also have a little market and a few restaurants there so you can easily buy some food and refreshments. Some artist are there selling their artwork and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing. If you feel you want to stay a little longer you can try to get yourself a bench and even enjoy a picnic there. It’s a place for peace of mind. It’s a place to relax a little. I have been there before and I will surely go again when nearby. I enjoy beautiful parks and this one is one of the best ones in Lisbon in my opinion. #lisbon #lisboa #portugal #park #urbanexplorer

#springitinerary During my recent vacation in Portugal I took some time to go all the way to the San Pedro alcantara observation deck. I would say this was definitely worth it because the views I got was so amazing and pretty. Catching a Birds Eye view of the city, it felt so thrilling and nice. A few tourists were here too and can take some nice shots. It’s quite a steep walk so be careful but you’ll be rewarded with a pretty and nice view at the end. Highly recommended if you are in Portugal and have some spare time

Lisbon is one of the most charming cities in Europe, a city that retains the charm of the Age of Discovery. It attracts tourists with its warm climate, charming street scenes and rich history and culture. Local prices are cheaper than other capitals in Western Europe, and restaurants, food and transportation are all very affordable. The most memorable thing is the Portuguese egg tart, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and rich. Almost every store has a different flavor, so you will never get tired of it. Taking the old tram through the retro alleys is a leisurely and relaxing experience, making it a great value for money travel choice. #Lisbon Egg Tart #Lisbon #Portuguese Castle #Portugal #Maritime Relics

📍 Lisbon 1 day tour 🚩 Start at magnificient Praça do Comércio, walk along R. Arsenal towards Bairro Alto. Stop by at Time Out market - cool spot but you don't need to eat there, save your appetite for another place, just a sneak peek. Climb up your way to a small secret gem - Praça das Flores. Here is a magic place for lunch/brunch - Magnolia bistro. If you think the brunch is not deserved yet, climb further up to Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantra. Cute small shops on the way will keep your curiosity and move you further. Take some pictures of city panorama and go back to Praça das Flores. NOW the lunch/brunch is well deserved and you can also reward yourself with a glass of wine. Wander back to the center or hop on a famous tram #28. Get lost in Chiado district and suddenly find yourself at Elevador de Santa Justa. Then continue to gorgeous Rossio square and admire Lisboa Rossio railway station later. You've reached your destination. But you're not at Jedda yet😉 #lisbon #solotravel #thingstodo #citydaytours

#aug_trip São Pedro de Alcántara Observatory Lisbon is made up of seven hills, so there are many observation decks, but this is the most popular one. And this is also the place where Miguel sang in the commercial for Deodorant Power 😁 lol It seems that it is usually full of tourists, but we were lucky that there was no one there because we visited around 8am 😆 You can see the colorful buildings of Lisbon in one go, and it's a great view 🥰 The recommended time to go is in the evening, when the red light reflects off the buildings and sparkles 🌇 And at night, the orange street lights shine romantically, and a different view unfolds 🌃💕 . . #Lisbon#Portugal trip#Europe trip#I want to connect with people who like traveling abroad#Tabijo📍Location:
