Immerse yourself in the history of Lisbon on this free walking tour of the Portuguese capital's oldest district: Alfama. Discover enchantingly picturesque streets full of culture and tradition.

Description

Your free walking tour of Lisbon's most historic neighbourhood will depart from Casa dos Bicos. The is a favourite meeting point for locals, so it's the ideal place to get stuck into the lively atmosphere of the Portuguese capital before delving into the history of Alfama.

From the statue dedicated to the Soldier King of Portugal, Pedro IV, you'll begin your stroll through the city's oldest neighbourhood - one of the only areas of Lisbon to survive the 1755 earthquake. As you wander through the quaint streets, you'll learn all about the customs and traditions of the people who live here.

Did you know that Alfama is home to some of the oldest traditions of the Portuguese music genre fado? Discover the historical origins of fado and what inspired the Portuguese musicians to write their mournful songs as you walk along steep cobblestone streets lined with ancient staircases and colourful houses.

We'll visit the Santa Luzia viewpoint, where you'll get some incredible views of Lisbon and the River Tajo.

Your free walking tour of this legendary district will then take you to the Portas do Sol viewpoint for a spectacular view over the city's rooftops, the Lisbon Cathedral, also known simply as the Sé, where your route will come to an end.

Groups

Our free tour does not accept reservations of more than 6 people. If you're a larger group, please book a private tour of Lisbon.
