Getting there

Car

If you're driving from central Lisbon, take the Avenida da Liberdade towards Praça Marquês de Pombal and then follow the signs for Eixo Norte-Sul/IC19. Merge onto the IC19 and then take the exit toward Lisboa Centro. Continue on this road until you reach the Alfama district. Look for Beco de Santa Helena, which is located near the viewpoint. There is limited street parking available, so be prepared to park further away and walk.

Public Transportation - Metro and Walking

Start by taking the Lisbon Metro (green line) from any central station (like Rossio) towards Cais do Sodré. Get off at the Baixa-Chiado station. From there, transfer to the tram 28, which is a popular route that passes through Alfama. Get off at the stop 'Miradouro de Santa Luzia'. From the tram stop, it's a short 5-minute walk to Beco de Santa Helena. Follow the signs towards the viewpoint, and enjoy the scenic streets along the way.

Public Transportation - Bus

Catch the bus number 734 from Praça da Figueira towards Campo de Ourique. Get off at the stop 'Beco de Santa Helena'. You will be right at the foot of the Observation Deck. Be sure to check the bus schedule as it may vary depending on the time of day. A single ticket is approximately €1.50.
