Guidebook for Lisboa
Sightseeing
Created in 1950, it has two nondescript entrances -- on Rua Heliodoro Salgado (next to number 81) and on Rua Ilha do Príncipe (through a flight of steps next to number 5) -- and was cleaned up in 2009, now offering an outdoor café.
The atmosphere is always serene, with the scent and in the shade of pine trees. The panoramic view goes from the waterfront to the Avenidas Novas district, and a tile panel illustrates what can be seen from here, whether you’re sitting at the café or on the pergola.

This is one of the most romantic spots in Lisbon. It's a landscaped terrace next to a small church of the same name, offering a beautiful panoramic view of the city's oldest district, Alfama. The dome of the National Pantheon, Santo Estêvão Church and São Miguel Church stand out among the sea of rooftops below, while the vines that climb up the pergola provide shade on the upper level. The lower terrace allows you to stay in the sun by a reflecting pool.
At the center of the bougainvillea garden is a bust of Lisbon historian Júlio de Castilho, and behind it are two tile panels -- one illustrating St. George's Castle being taken over from the Moors in 1147, and the other showing Comércio Square before its destruction in the 1755 earthquake.
Other small tiles with geometric shapes cover the walls of the terrace.
