• Trams pass right by the terrace, ringing their bells on the climb, so keep small kids close at the road edge
• Portas do Sol next door, a second viewpoint terrace a short walk up the street, with a wider view east over Alfama
• Café and kiosk on the terrace for a drink or snack while kids study the tile panels

A terrace garden beside the Santa Luzia church, with a pergola, a small pond and tiled walls. Two azulejo panels by António Quaresma show Praça do Comércio before the 1755 earthquake and the taking of the castle from the Moors.

From the wall, kids can spot the dome of Santa Engrácia, the church of Santo Estevão and the two towers of São Miguel above Alfama's rooftops, with the Tagus behind.
