About this experience
To immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Lisbon from the first days of your journey, I invite you to take a walk through the picturesque Alfama, where medieval houses and churches have been preserved almost in their original form, the narrow streets carry the aromas of the national cuisine, and the sounds of fado can be heard from the windows. You will learn about Lisbon's centuries-old history, see the city from the best panoramic viewpoints, and even taste the legendary port wine.
What to expect
Spirit of medieval Lisbon
You will walk through the oldest district of the city - Alfama, which has preserved its stunning national color. We will pass through the labyrinth of picturesque alleys, climb the narrow stairs of the Jewish quarter, examining the distinctive 15th-century houses with tiled roofs. You will visit the magnificent St. George's Castle, which rightfully serves as the city's landmark and is located at the highest point of Lisbon. Enjoy incredible views of the Old Town and the Tagus River from numerous viewpoints in Lisbon. You will meet grand churches and white monasteries, and along the way learn about the brightest events from the history of Portugal.
Portuguese charm
You will not only enjoy the architecture of Lisbon's Moorish past and delve into the city's history, but also get acquainted with local customs and the daily life of the residents. We will tell you when and why all Alfama residents treat themselves to grilled sardines, where you can hear the traditional Portuguese fado romance, and much more.
