Not easy to reach but well worth the effort. Continue down the road from Galafura to Covelhinas and on to Regua for a real treat.

Clérigos Tower is the foremost undisputed landmark of Porto and a reference in the city's history. Clérigos Tower opened its doors in 1763, becoming the highest bell tower of Portugal, with over 75 metres. In 1753 the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni was invited to design and build this magnificent Heritage, considered National Monument since 1910. The famous church was built in the eighteenth century, between 1732 and 1749 and this was the most emblematic work of the architect Nicolau Nasoni. Is one of the most beautiful temples of baroque feature, and a reference in the history of Porto. The Exhibitions allow to discover the history of the Brotherhood of Clérigos, admire pieces from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century, in painting, furniture, jewellery and vestment collections. Christus collection, on the 3 floor, is a trip through time and space where art and religion complement each other.

We debated whether to bother but on this our last morning decided at go as we were passing. 5 euros for admission to the church, exhibition areas and the tower. Church is very nice and ornate. Tower is not for the infirm. Step and very narrow steps reward you with some of the best views of the city (though fhe Dom Luis 1 bridge is hidden from view). We went in at 09 50 and had only been at the top for 5 minutes when a lot of people arrived. I guess they believed it opened at 1000 by the suddenly influx. It was then difficult to get past each other. Opens at 0900.

The climb up to this lookout was amazing. We climbed to the top and took lots of scenic pictures. The history about this castle told of its importance of warning the island of incoming war ships

Lisbon's highest viewpoint is waiting for you with a unique view over the portuguese capital and its most iconic landmarks. An exceptional experience on the top of the Amoreiras Shopping Center which is in itself one of the highlights of the city's landscape and shopping experience. Open everyday.

I recently returned from Lisbon, and made an effort to get to Amoreiras Shopping Center this time around. The rooftop observation deck was fantastic. I've visited Portugal many times, and can't believe I hadn't made it here before, now that I know what a treat it is. It was a cool windy day, but clear, and the 360-degree vista was well worth the 5 Euro entrance fee. Having a prior reference of the landmarks from the street level view only, this was such an education, and so impressive. I will do this again when I return to Portugal. Tip: be mindful of the closing and last-admit times.
