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.
