☀️ Sun, dream views & frozen treats = the perfect combo
You just walked out of Flocoloco with your multicolored shave ice in hand, and you're wondering:
“Okay... where do I enjoy this tropical gem?” 🌈
Lisbon is basically Hawaii with azulejos. So here are the Top 5 spots to enjoy your shave ice Waikiki-style, with the views, the vibes… and the perfect Insta feed.
1. 🌅 Miradouro da Senhora do Monte – That postcard view
Want romance, sunset, and a serious wow effect? Climb up to this viewpoint in the heart of Graça.
With your tropical shave ice and Lisbon stretching out in front of you, you’re basically the star of a postcard.
👉 Insta tip: hold your cup above the skyline for a “frozen cloud over the rooftops” effect.
2. 🐠 Cais das Colunas – Shave ice by the river
Just below Praça do Comércio, these two iconic pillars stand proudly as the Tagus laps at your feet.
Sit on the stone steps, let the wind play with your napkin, and enjoy your shave ice like you just stepped out of Waikiki Beach.
👉 Perfect combo: Lilikoi + guava + pineapple = full tropical mode.
3. 🌴 Jardim da Estrela – Chill under the palm trees
Skip the crowds and find a palm tree or vintage kiosk to chill beside while the kids run wild.
You're relaxing with a Pink Lemonade shave ice in hand. Total bliss just steps from Tram 28.
👉 Vibe tip: Bring a fan and pretend you’re in California.
4. 🌊 Algés Beach – Shave ice + sand + sunset = bliss
Yes, Lisbon has beaches. And Algés, just 15 minutes by train, is perfect for enjoying your shave ice barefoot in the sand.
Grab a towel, a good book, and enjoy the waves and the beach bar DJ (because yes, there’s often a DJ).
👉 Recommended flavor: Matcha Zen or Chocopop — you earned it after that train ride.
5. 🎨 LX Factory – Industrial cool meets island vibes
Want to eat your shave ice surrounded by street art, indie bookstores, and mouth-watering smells from around the world?
Head to LX Factory. Colorful stairs, graffiti, stylish alleys — your Rainbow shave ice never looked better.
👉 Photo challenge: Find a yellow or pink wall and match your cup with it.
🌈 Bonus: your shave ice, your mood, your city
Lisbon is full of magical corners for enjoying your frozen treat.
Whether you're a sunset chaser, urban explorer, or palm-tree-daydreamer, there’s a spot for you.
And the best part? Every bite brings you a little closer to Hawaii — without ever leaving Portugal.
