The Alfama is one of Lisbon's oldest and most traditional neighbourhoods. It is famed for its narrow, winding streets, the colourful washing hanging from windows, the neighbours chatting at the doors of their houses, and the viewpoints offering superb views over the Tagus and Lisbon rooftops.

Here you will find some of the best Fado Houses in the city. The Alfama is also a neighbourhood of traditional grocery stores and Portuguese taverns, charming façades decorated with traditional tiles, slanting buildings, churches, courtyards and fountains. Indeed, its very name derives from the Arabic word al-hama, meaning baths or fountains.
