What To Expect

Alfama

Visiting Alfama is like stepping into an ancient village within the city, wherever you turn is a postcard with vivid colours, arches, tile panels, street art, fountains, eclectic balconies, tiny streets with potted plants, clotheslines, and stunning river views.

• Admission Ticket Free

Miradouro de Santa Luzia

The upper level of the Miradouro de Santa Luzia is one of the greatest charms of Lisbon. There's a Portuguese cobblestone pavement, cut in small garden beds and topped by a pergola of stone and wood, coated with traditional Portuguese tiles.

• Admission Ticket Free

Miradouro das Portas do Sol

Portas do Sol means the gateway of the sun. Its postcard perfect panoramic vista offers you views over Alfama, from the St. Vincent Monastery to the National Pantheon and the Church of St. Stephen.

• Admission Ticket Free

Museu do Fado

The Fado Museum is a venue that pays homage to Portuguese "Soul" music. A genre so pungent and touching that it will not easily leave anyone indifferent. It's even said that Fado makes the cobblestone streets cry.

• Admission Ticket Free

Chafariz de Dentro

Chafariz de Dentro Square is the main square of Alfama. Chafariz de Dentro means the “fountain indoors”, because it was located inside the old city walls.
