According to one last year’s study, of one of the largest construction companies, Buildworld, Lisbon has one of the buildings with the best views in the world.
The company collected a number of reviews from the travel website TripAdvisor about skyscrapers and taller buildings around the world, highlighting reviews that spoke of the beautiful views they offered.
Buildworld has created a map of the highest places on the planet where the views are breathtaking, and Lisbon is in this world guide, with a place you probably know very well.
You can see beautiful Lisbon from here
Wherever you travel in the world, it’s only natural that you want to enjoy the best scenery and, in this sense, you’re always looking for highest points of the city for you to do. After all, these are the places where you take the best pictures of your trips, aren’t they?
Although the Empire State Building in New York, the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, are some of the most iconic places in these cities and countries, is it from here that you get the most beautiful views?
In the case of our closest, the Eiffel Tower, the answer is yes, as it was the building in this study that had the highest number of mentions: 5.116 TripAdvisor reviews contained the expression “beautiful view”.
Our city has several rooftops, which offer breathtaking views of the capital.
It also has some buildings known as the highest in the city (there are 7), even though some are inaccessible to the general public because they are private residences.
Lisbon also has some of the best and most beautiful structures for viewing the whole city: we’re talking about the wonderful viewpoints, from where you can admire the most beautiful views of the capital.
But it was St. George’s Castle, which even has a viewpoint that few people know about, which received this great distinction, also stands out as one of the 10 buildings with the best views in Europe, second only to some of the tallest structures on the old continent:
- Eiffel Tower in Paris, France: 5.116 mentions of “bela vista”
- Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Montmartre, Paris, France: 4.398 mentions
- Fishermen’s Bastion in Budapest, Hungary: 3.094 mentions
- Hallgrímur Church in Reykjavík, Iceland: 3.013 mentions
- London Eye, in London, United Kingdom: 2.685 mentions
- Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, United Kingdom: 2.467 mentions
- Prague Castle in Prague, Czech Republic: 1.875 mentions
- Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain: 1.771 mentions
- Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France: 1.721 mentions
- São Jorge Castle, in Lisbon, Portugal: 1.453 mentions
There’s no doubt that it’s from São Jorge Castle that you get one of the most beautiful and rewarding views of practically the entire city, which is why both Portuguese and tourists visiting Lisbon love to come here, whatever time of day it is, to spend some time admiring all this beauty.
