About this experience
Alfama is a 'village in the city'. Kind, soulful, and incredibly picturesque. Here locals dry their laundry on the street, everyone knows each other, neighbors grill fish on the barbecue and dine together. We will stroll through the labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets and admire the ancient houses. Let's talk about local traditions, legends, customs, and values.
What to expect
Walking through the authentic Alfama, you will learn:
- Why the mayor moved to one of the most criminal neighborhoods and what came of it
- Who now inhabits the district of alchemists and astronomers
- Where is the 'place of power' of Lisbon and what the first fadistas sang about
- Why students used to smear tram rails with soap
- How to turn cobblestones into a work of modern art
- What the oldest road sign in the city means
- Where to watch the best sunsets in Lisbon
If you wish, along the way we will taste the local cherry liqueur 'ginjinha'.
