Overview

Alfama is Lisbon's oldest and most atmospheric neighborhood, a labyrinth of narrow streets, tiled facades, and Fado music drifting from intimate tavernas. Cascading down the hillside from São Jorge Castle to the Tagus river, it offers breathtaking miradouros (viewpoints) and a strong sense of community that has endured centuries of change.
