TOP 50: TERRACES OF LISBON (3/5)


Whenever the weather is sunny and warm, there are 50 terraces in Lisbon that we suggest you to visit for a great ambience and magnificent view.

21. Quiosque de Refresco - Praça Luís de Camões
A kiosk that serves refreshments. In its terrace, the locals nostalgically drink some long-forgotten drinks, like Capilé (made with spleenwort).

22. Quiosques Liberdade
Avenidade da Liberdade has several kiosks all over it, but each is unique and has its own speciality. However, all have light meals and drinks and, more often than not, live music.

23. Mercado de Fusão
Located in Martim Moniz, Mercado de Fusão is a group of several kiosks that specialize in different world cuisines. Both the good weather and the live music concerts on the weekends make this a wonderful stop.

24. Mercado da Ribeira
Mercado da Ribeira (Ribeira Market), facing Dom Luís I Square, serves meals all they long.

25. Cais do Gás
Facing the river, Cais do Gás is a pier in Cais do Sodré, where several old warehouses were restored to become bars and restaurants with great terraces. It's a wonderful place to relax by the water, watching the ferries that go by, either during the afternoon or at night.

26. Quiosque Soundwich
Attracting locals and tourists of all ages, this kiosk even has a small playground right next to it. It's located in Dom Luís I Square and it is a lovely place to have a sandwich and a drink.

27. Largo do Duque de Cadaval
Next to Rossio Station, this is a calm spot in one of the busiest areas of the city. The terraces from several different restaurants offer you anything from traditional Portuguese cuisine, to pizza, or even just an ice cream.

28. 38º 41'
Located in the Atlis Belém Hotel, it's known for its sunset parties and it is a wonderful spot to have a glass of wine or a cocktail. 28º 41' also offers a magnificient view of the Discoveries Monument.

29. Cafetaria Mensagem
Also in the Atlis Belém Hotel, it offers a lovely view of the Belém Tower and Doca do Bom Sucesso. The menu has options both for lunch and dinner, but also for Sunday brunch.

30. Nosolo Itália - Belém
A terrace that makes you feel like you're floating on the Tagus River (photo), with a amazing view of the Discoveries Monument. It serves Italian cuisine.
