Taking the cable car up to São Jorge Castle on a clear day. Touristy, but spectacular views of the surrounding city.

Guess there is a lot you can do or see in Lisbon..for some night drinks try bairro alto/cais sodre and for a chilled evening and enjoying some views i would go to Adamastor(just above Bairro alto)..A MUST would be to visit Sintra sometime.. you wont regret it, having said that, in August i would prefer to take a train to Estoril or Cascais and enjoy some nice beaches (very cheap and not far + trains run every 20mins or so)

Theres also some very cool places like Ericeira, Guincho, Costa da Caparica or Setubal (all in 45mins or less distance)

PS- Sporting CP plays friday at 20:30 local time if your into football

+2 for Sintra, definitely worth it

You could also check out the Tour de Belém and be sure to buy 6 or 12 pastéis down the street at Pastéis de Belem. Long line, but it moves fast.

San Jeronimos Monastery, Tower of Belem and Pasteis de Belem in Belem.

Walk through Alfama and Mouraria and definitely go up to the castle.

Get a drink at Bairro Alto hotel on the rooftop bar. Get a drink at Park rooftop bar (what ONLYRAISEAA posted); the views are fantastic. Ride all the funiculars.

We didn't go to Sintra because we didn't have enough time, but everyone recommended it so you should probably do that.
