miradouros
A "miradouro" is a viewpoint or lookout point, commonly found in cities and natural landscapes, particularly in Portugal. These locations offer stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area, making them popular spots for both locals and tourists. They often feature benches, gardens, and sometimes cafes, providing a pleasant environment to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Many miradouros are situated on elevated terrain, such as hills or cliffs, allowing visitors to appreciate the beauty of the landscape, including rivers, mountains, and urban architecture. Some famous miradouros in Lisbon include Miradouro de Santa Catarina and Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, each offering unique perspectives of the city.
