Miradouro da Varanda dos Carqueijais
It's a "must-see" stop for anyone heading up to the Serra da Estrela mountain range via the EN339 from Covilhã, as this viewpoint offers magnificent views of the city itself and the surrounding Cova da Beira region. Right next to the road, on a sharp bend, you'll find an exit that allows you to enjoy one of the best panoramic views in the area. Further up you'll find Penhas da Saúde, a mountain village.
