The end of the afternoon is one of those unique moments that make us appreciate the simplicity of things. A palette of colours that we enjoy, alone or with others, always with the certainty that tomorrow will be a better day. Sunsets are truly a sensory experience anywhere in the world, but the sunset in Lisbon takes on unique characteristics: the views over the river, the historical landscapes and the bustle of the capital.
With a drink in hand, or simply in peace, we suggest some ideal destinations to enjoy the sunset in Lisbon.
Santa Catarina Viewpoint
A very popular area, with a magical and lively atmosphere. Here we find large terraces, live music and an impressive view over the Tagus estuary. In the distance we can see the statue of Adamastor, a monument that symbolizes the cape feared by Portuguese sailors, linked to the Portuguese history of the Discoveries.
Ribeira das Naus
It stretches along the river and goes from Cais do Sodré to Commerce Square. The promenade that is Ribeira das Naus is ideal for walking or cycling, on the bike path that was created in this place. It is a special place, where in addition to enjoying the sunset, it is possible to read a book with beautiful landscapes, or have a cocktail on one of the many terraces in the area.
Champalimaud Foundation
A few metres from the Belém Tower, where the sea meets the river, is the Champalimaud Foundation. With the camera, or in the company of friends, this is an unmissable place to enjoy good views and if you have time, visit this building, internationally recognized for the work it does in the field of science.
MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology
After visiting this museum, stay in the area and wait for the end of the day. The architecture of the MAAT leaves no one indifferent and its location next to the river, in Belém, guarantees unique moments when the last rays of the sun reflect on the Tagus River.
São Jorge Castle
At its full height, we see the city. In fact, any corner of Castelo de São Jorge is wonderful to enjoy the sunset. It is possible to enjoy the city of Lisbon from different angles, from the center to the Tagus estuary. Alone or with friends, you can also have a drink, taking advantage of the wide range of cafes and terraces in the area.
