Alfama District

Alfama, Lisbon

Overview

Lisbon's oldest district preserves a labyrinth of narrow lanes that date back to Moorish rule. By evening, mournful fado music spills from neighbourhood taverns, and azulejo-tiled façades give the streets a distinctive feel. The Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol viewpoints offer sweeping panoramas of the Tagus and the red-tiled rooftops. A flea market fills the streets every Tuesday and Saturday. Free to explore. Take Tram 28 through the district or walk 10 minutes from Metro Santa Apolónia (Blue Line).

Opening Hours

Open 24 hours (fado restaurants typically 20:00-24:00)
