O Funicular da Glória e o Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara


The São Pedro de Alcântara lookout is a place you have to visit. To get there, take Gloria’s cable-car from Restauradores Square and enjoy the 265 metre ride up the very steep hill (operates every day).

Now, close your eyes, take a few steps forward and WOW... the view at the São Pedro de Alcântara lookout is outstanding. From there you can take in downtown Lisbon and the mystic Saint George Castle and the historic neighbourhood of Graça. It will give you a unique insight of the city.

São Pedro de Alcântara Street is also an interesting spot where you can visit the Port Wine Institute to taste a vast range of Port wines. It is also one of the many entrances to Bairro Alto.
