Miradouro de Santa Catarina
On Rua de Santa Catarina, a viewpoint over the Tagus with a statue of Adamastor marking the garden.
This viewpoint looks over the Tagus and, to the west, the Lapa and Madragoa neighbourhoods. The garden has a statue of Adamastor, the figure described by Camões in Os Lusíadas.
It is in the Bairro Alto neighbourhood. If you have time, Mercado da Ribeira is 5 minutes on foot. It pairs well with the Cacilhas and Cristo Rei, across the Tagus trip. The nearest metro station is Cais do Sodré, about 440 m away; see how to use the metro.
