At the top of the Elevador da Gloria you get off at this city square/ park with a beautiful view of eastern Lisbon, the Castelo de Sao George across the way, as well as the Tejo River. There are benches to sit and look at the views and pretty trees, flowers and fountains as well. There is a memorial in the garden which is in memory of the founder of the first newspaper in Lisbon, the Diaro de Noticias. It was in this area that the newspaper industry used to be centered, before it was moved to a different more spacious part of Lisbon. I really enjoyed the pretty views of the city from up on the miradouro (viewpoint). Also pictured is one of the many artists in the streets of Lisbon who paint pictures of the city and its many cultural and beautiful sights.
