The viewpoint lies on the Carretera de Circunvalación, the road that follows the river on the far side from the old town. From here you see the Tagus gorge wrapping around the city, with the Alcázar and the Cathedral tower above the roofs. Tourist trains and open-top buses also stop here. It is free and has no hours.
What to look for
- The Tagus loop around the old town
- The Alcázar and Cathedral tower on the skyline
- The medieval bridges below

Getting there
It is across the river, a walk of roughly 40 to 50 minutes from Plaza de Zocodover by the Puente de Alcántara. Tourist trains and tour buses also stop here.
Tip
Come late in the afternoon, when the light warms the stone and the Alcázar stands out on the skyline.
