Monsanto is Lisbon's massive green lung with actual hiking trails and zero tourists. Bus 50 from Sete Rios to Alto da Serafina, then yellow trail markers for a 2-hour loop with killer city views.

Bring water - nothing up there. While city center miradouros like Senhora do Monte give you the classic Lisbon sunset experience, Panorâmico viewpoint at the top offers something completely different - the light here during golden hour is incredible for film photography, with way better texture and atmosphere than the crowded spots. Perfect if you're after landscape shots with the city as backdrop rather than intimate sunset viewing.
