What makes Miradouro da Graça truly special is its atmosphere. Surrounded by leafy gardens and colourful blooms, it feels like a peaceful retreat right in the heart of the city.
The presence of street musicians and local artists gives the space a creative pulse, while the nearby Igreja da Graça, home to art exhibits and a breathtaking terrace open for visitors, adds a touch of historical depth.
It’s a place to sit back, soak in the view, and experience a slower, more soulful side of Lisbon.
