Sightseeing in Alfama

Alfama is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lisbon and is known for its narrow cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and views of Lisbon. Please note this area is quite hilly, so wear comfortable shoes or travel via a TukTuk cart! Some of our recommendations are:

1) Miradouro de Santa Luzia (scenic viewpoint of the Tagus river)

2) São Jorge Castle

3) Lisbon Cathedral (the oldest church in the city)

4) Lots of cute restaurants and rooftops along the way to grab food and drinks
