Miradouro Da Senhora Do Monte
Já foi um dos maiores segredos da cidade, mas tem vindo a ser descoberto por guias turísticos e por casais de namorados. Oferece uma vista panorâmica de Lisboa, que também é observada por uma pequena imagem da Virgem que dá o nome ao miradouro. Por trás da imagem está uma pequena capela do século XVIII, que se encontra quase sempre fechada. Conta uma lenda antiga que as grávidas que se sentassem na cadeira de pedra no interior teriam os partos facilitados. Este é um dos pontos mais altos da cidade, por isso avistam-se vários monumentos, identificados num painel de azulejos.

Elemento referencial no perfil da cidade e oferecendo pontos de vista privilegiados sobre a zona histórica da cidade e sobre o rio Tejo, está classificado como Monumento Nacional. Na sua proximidade realiza-se semanalmente, às 3ªas feiras e Sábados, a tradicional Feira da Ladra.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town cost?
+
Prices start at €50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 286 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town?
+
Around 100 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Where is the meeting point for Private Lisbon and Belém Tuk Tuk Tour | Alfama and Old Town?
+
