Located in the heart of the capital city, the Alfama Village is considered to be the soul of Lisbon. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the narrow lanes and cobblestone streets. Lose yourself in the medieval era of this picturesque village located in the oldest district of Lisbon. Originally, this was an area on the outskirts of the city, which was reserved for the poor. There was no change in the district’s condition even as Lisbon grew into an important port. It is only today that this tough and resilient district is considered to be fashionable. Talk about changing times! Set aside an entire day to soak in the subtle energy and art of the Alfama Village. The best way to explore this historic district is to just follow your heart. Before you realize it, you are taken back to a different world of beauty, art, culture, and rich history.
You don’t want to miss out on taking a ride on the tram number 28. From the 1930s, the tram is snaking its way in the narrow lanes of this old district. An interesting legend that caught our attention was the statue of the patron saint of lovers, Saint Anthony. It is believed that whoever can aim for and land a coin in the book of St. Anthony, will find a new and much better partner! In your haste to reach St. Anthony, don’t forget to grab a coin on the way. See you there!
