Miradouro dos Barros Lisbon

Mini viewpoint at Graça

Ana Carolina from Lisbon

About me I was born and raised in Brasil. A few years ago, I moved to Lisbon for my Master's degree in Law (at least this is what I told myself!) and decided to stay for good. I fell in love with the city, and now I have one more place to call mine. If you give me good sunlight, a cup of coffee and a nice book, I will be perfectly fine. Why Lisbon? ...
""Miradouro dos Barros" in Lisbon is located between a nice garden & a famous viewpoint, but for me, this spot is actually the best & most comfortable one!"

Lisbon has many historical and lovely neighborhoods that attract lots of people. "Graça" is for sure one of them, but some spots in this zone are yet to be discovered – this "mini" viewpoint is one of them.

This is located in the street right below another famous viewpoint ("Largo do Monte") and right above a very nice garden ("Jardim da Cerca da Graça") but, for me, this spot is actually the best one. From here you will have a great view of "Castelo de São Jorge", the bridge, the garden and, of course, a couple of white and illuminated houses that famously form the image of the historical Lisbon.

I feel very comfortable in this place because it is small, usually not crowded, there are unpretentious places to seat and the view/light is always beautiful from there. At the same time, there is a couple of cool bars & restaurants around, with all kinds of vibes.

This specific spot is very dear to me and I really recommend that you grab a drink and sit there for a couple of minutes just to admire the beauty of Lisbon.

The light here is something else. The sky is always beautiful no matter what. The Brazilian community is significantly present - it makes me feel at home! The city is very ...
