Sightseeing
One of the best look-out point in Lisbon is also one of the least visited. Take the 28 Tram from Martim Moniz (R. Sra. Saúde 6B) and jump off when you see the sign for Nossa Senhora do Monte on your right side. It's close to Largo da Graca. From there it's a short walk up hill.

One of the few look-out points that faces the river. There's a small bar and café in the park and generally quite a lot of people around. A good place to start the evening before going for food in any of the restaurants in Baixa or Bairro Alto.
