Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Alfama, Lisbon Portugal
Visiting Alfama is like stepping into an ancient village within the city, wherever you turn is a postcard with vivid colours, arches, tile panels, street art, fountains, eclectic balconies, tiny streets with potted plants, clotheslines, and stunning river views.
Pass By: Miradouro de Santa Luzia, Largo de Santa Luzia Alfama, Lisbon 1100-487 Portugal
The upper level of the Miradouro de Santa Luzia is one of the greatest charms of Lisbon. There’s a Portuguese cobblestone pavement, cut in small garden beds and topped by a pergola of stone and wood, coated with traditional Portuguese tiles.
Pass By: Miradouro das Portas do Sol, Largo das Portas do Sol Alfama, Lisbon 1100-411 Portugal
Portas do Sol means the gateway of the sun. Its postcard perfect panoramic vista offers you views over Alfama, from the St. Vincent Monastery to the National Pantheon and the Church of St. Stephen.
Pass By: Museu do Fado, Largo do Chafariz de Dentro 1, Lisbon 1100-139 Portugal
The Fado Museum is a venue that pays homage to Portuguese “Soul” music. A genre so pungent and touching that it will not easily leave anyone indifferent. It’s even said that Fado makes the cobblestone streets cry.
Pass By: Largo do Chafariz de Dentro, Lisbon 1100-575 Portugal
Chafariz de Dentro Square is the main square of Alfama. Chafariz de Dentro means the “fountain indoors”, because it was located inside the old city walls.
