Alfama Walking Tour Lisbon
Overview

Mobile ticket
Alfama is not only one of the oldest and most picturesque neighborhoods in Lisbon, but it was also one of the few that was not destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. And so, the city still maintained its familiar charm. In fact, this neighborhood’s nickname comes from the Arabic ‘Al-hamma’ which means ‘hot springs’ or ‘baths’. Decorated with beautiful tiles, this neighborhood's steep, winding alleys give way to stunning views over a sea of terracotta roofs and the Tagus River. The aromas of traditional Portuguese cuisine, the echoes of fado and the conversation of elderly Portuguese people make this neighborhood one of the most authentic in Lisbon! Our tour starts in Rossio and passes through some key areas before heading to the heart of Alfama, where you will also stop at Miradouro Portas do Sol, before ending the tour at the cathedral.

5.00Very informative tour. Valeria was excellent and very knowledgeable. Half the tour is walking uphill but plenty of stops to break it up. Great photo spots on the way and at the top. Well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00It was such great and informative tour - ideal to get a first taste of the multi dimensional city of Lisbon. Jack was a lovely guide, you could follow him easily - even for people who are not so firm in English, because he speaks clearly without any accent. And you have enough time to place all of your questions. I loved everything about this tour!
Great walking tour with Natalia!
