About this experience
This was where it all started. Meet the heart of the city nested in the oldest hill of Lisbon. It is the hill of fado and of the typical taverns that preserve their genius and traditional roots. From the quarters of Graça and Alfama, through Mouraria up to the São Jorge Castle, you may be lucky enough to come across a sardine barbecue on the street. We hop out in Alfama, take a walk through this music quarter and listen to its cries. You will be able to see Roman remains, medieval houses that survived the 1755 earthquake, the magnificent Lisbon Cathedral, squares livened up by outdoor cafés, nooks and alleys reminiscent of Arab cities – Lisbon’s multicultural history has also left its mark here. Incredible views of the city from the many natural windows it offers will not be left out.
