Alfama district
This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Lisbon, The City of Seven Hills
We’re now entering the Alfama district, one of the most iconic in the city. It stretches along the hillsides, made up of countless narrow, winding streets. And well, they’re steep, but I guess you’ve already noticed! The district’s name is of Arabic origin and means “spring,” in reference to the various hot springs that once flowed in this area. The iconic yellow Tramway no. 28 passes through here every day, making it a must-visit spot in Lisbon. And it’s easy to see why: gourmet restaurants, traditional cafés, impressive viewpoints… This neighborhood has it all! So take your time strolling through these charming narrow streets and sway to the heartfelt melodies of Fado as night falls.
