How the Sun moves through the year in Lisbon
Sunrise: East-Northeast (59°). Sunset: West-Northwest (302°).
Sunrise: East-Southeast (120°). Sunset: West-Southwest (240°).
These bearings are calculated for Lisbon's coordinates rather than using a generic east/west rule. The shift between the two solstices shows how far the sunrise and sunset points move along the local horizon over the year.
Local horizon context
Lisbon's hills can either block or extend the visible sunset depending on where you stand. A clear western horizon — usually from a miradouro or open Tagus-facing terrace — gives the longest visible sunset.
Lisbon is especially strong for sunset because its hills, river, and west-facing miradouros layer golden light across the city. Standing slightly above street level usually improves visibility.
Official solar times assume an astronomical horizon. Buildings, trees, hills or other obstructions described in the local notes can change when the Sun first or last becomes visible from a particular street or viewpoint.
What this city page is for
