Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara

Lisbon, Portugal - May 26, 2013: Miradouro de Sao Pedro de Alcantara viewpoint or Belvedere in Bairro Alto District. View of the Baixa and Alfama District and Castelo Sao Jorge aka Saint George Castle

Hitch a ride on vintage Ascensor da Glória from Praça dos Restauradores, or huff your way up steep Calçada da Glória to this terrific hilltop viewpoint. Fountains and Greek busts add a regal air to the surroundings, and the open-air kiosk doles out wine, beer and snacks, which you can enjoy while taking in the castle views and live music.
