Discover Lisbon’s Most Romantic Viewpoints
with Our New Self-Guided Walking Tour on the Exploro App
If you ask locals what makes Lisbon so unforgettable, many will tell you: it’s the light, the hills, and the views. Scattered across the city are dozens of miradouros (scenic viewpoints) where you can look out across red rooftops, the Tagus River, and the endless Atlantic beyond.
That’s exactly what our brand-new Lisbon for Romantics: A Walking Tour of the City’s Best Miradouros invites you to do. Available now on the Exploro app, this self-guided journey leads you through some of Lisbon’s most stunning viewpoints, weaving together poetry, myth, and story along the way.
The Magic of Lisbon’s Miradouros
The tour leads you through eight of Lisbon’s most beautiful miradouros, including:
Senhora do Monte: the highest viewpoint in Lisbon, where the whole city opens below you.
São Pedro de Alcântara: framed by gardens and fountains, perfect at sunset.
Santa Catarina: beloved for its laid-back vibe and wide Tagus views.
Each stop includes stories, poetry, and myths that bring the place to life. From verses by Fernando Pessoa to legends of the sea-giant Adamastor, the narrative weaves history and imagination together.
This isn’t your typical history tour. Instead, think of it as a gentle walk through Lisbon’s soul. Starting at Senhora do Monte, the highest hilltop in the city, you’ll make your way through winding streets and leafy plazas, stopping at eight iconic miradouros, each one a different lens through which to see Lisbon.
Along the way, you’ll hear verses from Portugal’s most beloved poets, local legends like the sea-giant Adamastor, and reflective invitations to pause and notice how the city makes you feel.
Whether you’re exploring solo, with a partner, or with a friend, this is a tour for romantics in the broadest sense for anyone who finds beauty in small details and meaning in the magic of place.
