The Miradouro da Graça is a great place to get a good view of the city and have a drink.
You can see almost all of Lisbon from here, however, you will have to walk a very steep hill to get here. If you want to avoid this, take Tram 28, which has several stops in the area of Graça, and take the hill on the way down.

Santa Justa Lift
@lauraabornstein
Lisbon has plenty of elevators around the city to help you conquer it's hills. The Elevador de Santa Justa is by far the most impressive and beautiful one.
Getting a sight of this elevator is definitely worth it. It's close to Praça do Comércio and Museo de Carmo. You definitely won't see a structure like this anywhere else in Europe.
You can buy tickets to the elevator and go to the viewpoint at the top, however, I don't think this is worth it.
If you don't mind going uphill for a bit, you can reach the top via a bridge that is located right next to the Muséo do Carmo. You won't be able to reach the top, but you will be close enough to get a spectacular view.
With all the wondefull and free viewpoints in Lisbon, I personally don't think it's worth waiting in line for this one.
