Miradouro Sao Pedro de Alcantara
The Garden of São Pedro de Alcântara is a panoramic garden over Lisbon, built in 1864, with a small lake and a viewpoint, which offers an imposing view over the east of Lisbon with views of part of the Lower Zone of Lisbon and the south bank of the River Tejo. The view extends from the walls of the Castle of St. George surrounded by trees and the Lisbon seat (sec. XII), in the hills to the southwest, to the 18th-century French Penha Church, to the northwest. The large complex of the Church of Grace is also visible, while Saint Vincent de Fora is recognizable by the symmetrical towers around the white facade. Stop at this location may not be possible due to traffic.
Miradouro Da Senhora Do Monte
Senhora do Monte Viewpoint, located in the Graça neighborhood, offers a unique panorama, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful views of Lisbon.
Palacio Nacional da Ajuda

Pastéis de Belém
The manufacture of the Pastels of Bethlehem began in the 19th century, in Bethlehem, near the Monastery of Jerónimos, there was a refinement of sugarcane associated with a small store. Due to the Liberal Revolution of 1820, all Portuguese convent and monasteries were closed years later and, as a consequence, all workers and clergy were expelled from these same places. In an attempt to survive, an element of the Monastery put on sale, in this small place of commerce, some sweet pastels that quickly became known as “Pastels of Bethlehem” given the area where they were sold and the original recipe was preserved to this day.
Torre de Belem
Belém Tower of the century XVI, was a military construction for defense of the river and the entrance of Lisbon.
Padrao dos Descobrimentos

However, it was not built until 1960, on the occasion of the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the death of Infante D. Henry, the Navigator.
