Lisbon has a wealth of breathtaking viewpoints, or miradouros. In fact, this ‘City of Seven Hills’ is full of bars, restaurants and hotels that have really taken advantage of the majestic views, pairing their services with the scenery. Here is a breakdown of the best miradouros in Lisbon, where you can enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.

1. Lost In Esplanada Bar

Bar, Restaurant, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, European, Portuguese, Vegan, Gluten-free

One of the most trendy and unique rooftop bars in Lisbon is the brightly colored Lost In. The terrace is furnished with love seats and small tables, so you can get cozy while eating and drinking outside (there are larger, regular tables too). The serving staff will even give you a blanket if the weather is on the cold side. From under the shade of large trees and in the gentle light of lanterns, you can see out to the river and the castle, which is extra spectacular when Lisbon’s purple sunsets blanket the sky.

2. Park Bar

Bar, Restaurant, Portuguese

Also in Bairro Alto, you’ll find a place where you can park yourself for a relaxing evening and a lovely sunset, while listening to music. Appropriately named, this bar is actually located on the sixth floor of a car park. From the top, you will be able to see a few landmarks including the Santa Catarina Church and the 25th of April bridge. This place has a lovely ambiance, and in addition to music you can enjoy a varied menu, which includes particularly delicious sangria and burgers.

3. Café Esplanada do Miradouro do Monte Agudo

Cafe, Bar, Portuguese, European

About 4 kilometers from downtown lies Penha de França, a neighborhood perched around one of Lisbon’s hills. A popular spot with locals, the café is well-loved for its inexpensive menu, tranquil vibe, and priceless vistas. It’s definitely worth seeking out, despite the location away from the tourist-heavy neighborhoods.

4. Noobai Café

At the bottom of Bairro Alto is the Miradouro da Santa Catarina, where you will find the Noobai Café. Visit the Museum of Pharmacy first, which is located in a yellow mansion across the street, and get to the café in time for dinner, drinks and the setting sun over the Tagus River.
