Alfama is the heart of old Lisbon, a picturesque maze of steep cobbled streets, vibrant tiled façades, and sun-drenched terraces overlooking the Tagus River. Known for its historic charm, it’s where the city’s Moorish roots, medieval architecture, and deep fado traditions come together. Here, you can wander past hidden courtyards, visit ancient landmarks like the Sé Cathedral and Castelo de São Jorge, and soak in the neighborhood’s warm, timeless atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time.
