The Alfama district of Lisbon has amazing views but most of the food and shopping is aimed at the tourist. It is worth a visit but you don't have to spend too much time here.

Walking through this wonderful old neighborhood was a great deal of fun. The architecture was great, and the sense of history was palpable. Is it a survivor of the great fire?

I had a second tour w Pascal - this one was of Alfama, which was extremely interesting. Pascal covered religion and history for this part of Lisbon, bringing to light many interesting highlights. I would tour more of Portugal w Pascal if there was more...More

The old part of Lisbon makes an interesting walk. Around every corner is a new bar, restaurant or shop: all small and all geared to tourists. Worth an evening wander.

Alfama was the only neighborhood that wasn't destroyed in the 1755 earthquake and it shows. Sure, the neighbirhood looks dirty and shady, but don't let the that deceive. The streets and houses bleed history and charm. You absolutely must take a look.

We found an AirBNB in this district and we loved being surrounded by quirky restaurants and bars. Fifteen minute walk to the main square but the metro and buses are nearby.

Stayed in the Alfama, in an updated apartment, but the building was very old. The narrow streets, abundance of tiny restaurants, and location to museums was amazing.
