Embark on a journey to the neighborhood of Castelo São Jorge (Saint-George’s Castle) and the Lisbon Cathedral, located atop a hill overlooking the Tagus River and the oldest district of Lisbon.
This guided walk transports you to the era of the Romans, featuring an amphitheater and the thermal baths of Alfama, later renamed “Al-Hamma” by the Moors.
This unique corner of the city retains its original charm with a maze of narrow lanes, inner courtyards, stairways, and petite plazas.
Judaism, Islam, and Christianity continue to dominate as the main religions in Portugal.
Once a fisherman’s quarter, Alfama still breathes its distinctive ethos at every turn, where the sounds of Fado music fill the air. This walking tour introduces you to the city’s most genuine local lifestyle.
