Views over the Alfama district
Beautiful views of the historic district
Alfama is the oldest district in Lisbon. It is famous for its narrow, winding streets and many religious monuments, bars and restaurants. There are also famous viewpoints of the district such as Miradouro de Santa Luzia and the nearby Miradouro das Portas do Sol.
A view of the views
From the Miradouro das Portas do Sol viewpoint, there are not only views down but also to other viewpoints, including the most famous Miradouro de Santa Luzia. From this viewpoint, you can also see the famous statue of S. Vicente and the small church Igreja de Santa Luzia
