Tour description

Discover the Charm of Alfama: History, Viewpoints and Fado

Join us for an unforgettable trip through the heart of Lisbon: the Alfama district.

This tour begins at the iconic Casa dos Bicos , a 16th-century building with its intriguing geometric façade, home to the José Saramago Foundation. From there, we ascend to the majestic Sé Catedra l, an imposing witness to almost 900 years of history.

We will continue towards the viewpoints of Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol , where you will be captivated by the panoramic views of the Tagus River and the rooftops of Lisbon, perfect for capturing unforgettable memories.

From there, we begin our descent through the narrow, winding streets of Alfama , a labyrinth of historic architecture that exudes charm and authenticity in every corner.

Discover gems such as the location of the famous Fado houses, where the soul of Lisbon is expressed in nostalgic melodies, and delve into the rich history of the Jewish quarter .

We will walk through the narrowest street in Lisbon , an experience that will make you feel like a true explorer of the city.

The tour concludes at the Chafariz De Dentro , a historic fountain that has supplied water to Lisbon residents for centuries, and next to the Fado Museum , home to Portugal's most iconic musical tradition.

Special note: This hike is ideal for all energy levels as 90% of the trail will be downhill.

Come with comfortable shoes and let yourself be enchanted by the soul of Alfama!
