| Alfama is the oldest and one of the most amazing district of Lisbon. It is located on one of the seven hills of Lisbon, right below the St. George’s Castle. It could be best described as 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. In Alfama you may feel like you went back in time. Here life just goes on, accompanied by nostalgic sounds of Fado. Slow, without hurry, in harmony and happiness. That’s Alfama- the best place to discover sounds and smells of old Lisbon.
