• Miradouro de Santa Luzia - Our first stop offers a panoramic view over Alfama’s charming skyline, the majestic Tagus River, and its South Bank.
• Lisbon Cathedral - The only remaining Romanesque monument in the city, the Lisbon Cathedral is part church, part fortress. Some say it’s almost a new medieval cathedral, as it was extensively rebuilt in the 1930s.
• Fachada do Edificio na Rua das Cruzes da Sé 13-15 - A fascinating medieval faux window in the south wall of the Cathedral’s Cloister, and across the street, a 19th-century smithy with a facade adorned with rare ceramic tiles.
• Igreja São João da Praça - A site of miracles and public executions. One of the best fado houses and a beautiful small baroque church are just around the corner.
• Casa de Fado Porta d’Alfama - Discover the meaning of “Alfama” in this dazzling urban maze, featuring a fado restaurant with an archaeological museum inside.
• Casa dos Bicos-Museu de Lisboa - One of the few surviving manor houses from the Age of Maritime Exploration, now also home to the José Saramago Foundation. The ground floor showcases astonishing archaeological findings.
• Rua dos Bacalhoeiros - The former Onion Market, now transformed into a garden, surrounded by refurbished shops. Currently, it’s one of the liveliest spots in town.
• Porta do Mar - One of the 12 gates that were opened daily in Medieval Lisbon, flanked by two noble houses—one awaiting refurbishment, the other a five-star hotel with its own archaeological treasures.

Alfama is the birthplace of Lisbon, known as the city’s oldest and most charming district. Over the past two thousand years, the heart of the old town has been constructed, expanded, shaken, destroyed, and rebuilt time and again. This is why an unconventional tour is suggested, filled with spontaneity and a wealth of stunning discoveries. Highlights include a restaurant nestled within Roman walls, public restrooms located six feet underground with a residential building inside, a grand royal palace transformed into a dark prison, and a collection of decorative tiles whose authenticity remains a mystery, even to thieves. Additionally, one might wonder if anyone still resides in what increasingly feels like a tourist amusement park.
