"The Santa Catarina viewpoint, also known as the Adamastor viewpoint, is located on one of Lisbon's seven hills and is famous as a viewpoint and retreat for observers. Tradition has it that, in the 16th to 18th centuries, the movement of ships was appreciated, one of them being the imposing departure of the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, thus giving rise to the popular proloquium “seeing ships from the top of Santa Catarina”.
Accept the invitation from one of the several marble benches at the Santa Catarina viewpoint to see more than just ships from above… to contemplate the comfort of your garden, the landscape of the Tagus riverside, the 25 de Abril Bridge, the Cristo-Rei, Baixa Pombalina and the neighboring neighborhood of Madragoa… Observe every peculiar detail!
The Santa Catarina viewpoint has a young, relaxed and busy atmosphere, where tourists and locals mingle with musicians and street artists. In addition to the privileged view, the viewpoint has a pleasant kiosk where fans of terraces, coffee or drinks go to admire the view at dawn or at the end of the day over the Tagus."

"Cais das Colunas is a charming place in Lisbon, where the Tagus River meets the city. It is a perfect place to enjoy a stunning sunset and relax at the end of the day. The white columns stretch majestically over the water, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Sitting on the edge of the pier, feeling the gentle breeze and enjoying the spectacle of the sun setting on the horizon is a unique experience. It's a moment to leave the stress of the day behind, take a deep breath and simply relax while the magic of the sunset envelops the landscape."
