Great Views of Lisbon with Kids, 2 of 9: Miradouro da Senhora do Monte


A hilltop terrace beside the small Senhora do Monte chapel, founded in 1147, where Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques, gathered his troops before taking Lisbon. From the railing, kids can pick out the castle and the Graça church on the left, the Baixa rooftops and the Carmo ruins below, and the Tagus beyond. It is one of the calmer city viewpoints, close to the Miradouro da Graça.
