Graça is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lisbon, situated at the top of its highest hill, a few blocks northeast of the Castelo de São Jorge and above the hill of the Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora. The neighborhood, which surrounds Largo da Graça (tram 28 stops here), enjoys some of the most spectacular views over Lisbon.
The most famous viewpoint is the Miradouro de Santa Graça, which offers views over the entire centre of Lisbon and the castle. Seating in a esplanade in the late afternoons of summer, until late at night, is one of the favorite activities of local youth.
Graça is a charming place, the narrow streets are full of patisseries and restaurants, frequented mainly by locals.
Graça is within walking distance of most of Lisbon's points of interest and is just a 10m walk from the Martim Moniz metro station.
