Casa dos Bicos-Museu de Lisboa
Look for the Blue Umbrellas and prepare yourself to start a journey into the soul of Lisbon.
Chafariz D'El Rei
The Chafariz de El-Rei, which was probably the first public fountain in the city of Lisbon, was built in the 13th century, taking advantage of the excellent waters of the Alfama hillside.
Largo do Chafariz de Dentro
It was once called Chafariz dos Cavalos (Horse Fountain), and it's Alfama's central plaza. Its current name comes from the fact that it is located within the walls of the Fernandina wall.
Largo de Sao Rafael
Next to the ancient wall, this is where memories of the old Alfama still linger.
Yet another special place in Alfama where we sit to listen to stories that cross culture and ancient habits.
Igreja de Sao Miguel
This beautiful church and square is one of the main spots where the famous Popular Saints Festivities take place. A place of many stories and tales.
One of Lisbon's most iconic murals by the hand of Nuno Saraiva.
Miradouro de Santo Estevao
Depending on the pace, we will go inside the mazy Alfama and reach the Church of Santo Estêvão Viewpoint.
Miradouro Das Portas Do Sol
This viewpoint is one enormous balcony overlooking all of Alfama. Its panoramic view has illustrated countless postcards.
Miradouro de Santa Luzia
Yet another iconic spot in Lisbon, this terrace is as romantic as it gets.
Lisbon Cathedral, better known as Sé de Lisboa, is the oldest and most important church in the city. Its construction dates back to the 12th century. We won't be going inside the Cathedral (cost of entry 5€).

What better place to celebrate Lisbon than in front of the Church of Santo António, Lisbon's most cherished saint.
