Lisbon Alfama Morning Walking Tour: Old Town & Viewpoints

4.8(388 reviews)

Start your Lisbon day in its oldest quarter, before the crowds arrive and it gets too hot. This 2-hour Alfama walking tour leads you through Lisbon's most atmospheric neighborhood alongside a licensed local guide who knows its stories firsthand. Wander the tight cobbled lanes of this old hilly district, whose streets, squares and townhouses have stood for centuries. See intricately tiled houses and hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and pass notable landmarks including St George's Castle and Lisbon Cathedral. Admire the vistas from Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Miradouro das Portas do Sol, where views stretch across Lisbon and the Tagus River, and learn about Fado, Portugal's soulful traditional music, from your guide. With a small group and an expert local at the helm, you'll uncover an Alfama most visitors walk straight past.
