Amoreiras 360° Panoramic View

At the top of the Amoreiras Towers, the Amoreiras 360° Panoramic View reveals Lisbon in a way the city rarely allows itself to be seen: whole, wide and surprisingly legible. At 174 metres above sea level, on one of the highest points in the city, this viewpoint offers a continuous reading of the Tagus, São Jorge Castle, the Águas Livres Aqueduct, the Estrela Basilica and the rolling shape of Lisbon’s hills. More than a simple lookout, it is a place that helps you understand the scale and variety of the capital, between old neighbourhoods, major monuments and areas of urban expansion. Set within the Amoreiras Towers complex, opened in 1985 and awarded the Valmor Prize, it has earned a distinctive place in the city’s skyline. It is worth using the viewing scopes and following the maps slowly: from above, Lisbon seems to arrange itself before your eyes, as if the whole city became, for a moment, clearer.
