Here, we will stop for a visit, allowing you to explore the interior and learn more about its religious and cultural role in the city.
The Santa Luzia Viewpoint is one of Lisbon’s most charming spots, perfect for taking photos.

Here, we will take an optional walking tour, where you can explore the charm of Alfama and try a traditional Ginjinha, a cherry liquor served in a chocolate cup.
The Chafariz de El-Rei was the first public fountain in the city of Lisbon, built in the 13th century by D. Dinis, taking advantage of the excellent waters of the Alfama hillside.
