This cemetery is a reflection of lisbon’s rich history. So many famous people, a bird there, from politicians, to artists, to rioters, to musicians. You’ll find the final rest in place of some lisbo’s most famous people and my favorite part is their view from the cemetery. The cemetery is located on a hill, so there is a kind of tiny viewpoint where you can see the bridge. The Jesus. You can take beautiful pictures and every time anyone visits me in Lisbon. I take them there because the views.
You will not get that view from anywhere.

Park of Theodor D. 7th is one of the most popular parks in Lisbon. However, not everybody knows that there is a magnificent viewpoint over there. The viewpoint is like hiddenated at the top of the park that can be accessed via stairs next to Thetofofria. But you can also walk through the park. You can rest on the grass, have a picnic with friends and then make your way up to the viewpoint. What makes this viewpoint unique is that it’s not crowded with tourists. The other viewpoints are busy with tourists, however, this one is quite.
Free I would say another great thing about this particular viewpoint that it’s surrounded by greens, so even if you’re tired you can sit on a bench in the shade and enjoy the views. Overall, the Park of Adorno, the 7th and the viewpoint are definitely worth visiting and it’s located not super far from the main area. From Praia de Comercio. From A Vio de Libertad it’s literally 20 min walk so I highly recommend go to that park.
