The route

Miradouro das Portas do Sol

The morning view over Alfama.

A square in blossom

The riverfront

Praça do Comércio, then the Tagus with the bridge behind.

Light and timing

In mid-March the sun rises around 6:50 and the city is still quiet. Spring blossom lasts only a few weeks, so we build the route around it when it is out.
