Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara

Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The view from this terrace captures the Baixa streets and the river as the light fades.
Local tip
The Santa Justa Lift line can be quite long, so it is better to walk up or use the elevator from the bottom if you need to cross the street, but for this plan, the nearby terrace offers a superior view without the queue.
