The smells of old Lisbon

Considered one of the more loved jewels in Portugal, the Alfama district is a must-see. Situated in the historic city centre, this is one of the oldest and most emblematic quarters of Lisbon. With lots of examples of Moorish and Roman architecture, the area has preserved its medieval shape and unique atmosphere. Its name Alfama has its roots in the Arabic Al-Hama, meaning springs or fountains.

 

Alfama is one of the most rewarding for walkers and photographers thanks to its medieval alleys and outstanding views. It is a village within a city still made up of narrow streets, tiny squares, churches, and whitewashed houses with wrought-iron balconies adorned with pots of flowers, drying laundry, and caged birds. Alfama’s streets are slim and hilly and flanked with bars and restaurants where tourists will hear an earful of “fado,” traditional Portugese music.

The attractions of Alfama: Museu das Artes Decorativas, Igreja de São Vicente de For, Igreja de Santa Engrácia, Museu Nacional do Azulejo and Convento Da Madre de Deus.  The best way to see the wonders of this district (besides walking) is to catch the old fashioned number 28 tram which wends its way through the ancient streets and hills, rattling round tight corners and buzzing angrily at parked cars in its path.
