Great area , narrow cobblestoned streets to wander around. Shops and restaurants to try . Not too crowded in December. Well worth a visit Full review by jebuc
Hello travellers, My cousin and I are staying in Alfama in June, it’s our first time in Lisbon so I’m hoping we made the right decision on the district to stay in. We hope to be able to visit all the districts with ease from this location. Is it easy to get around? I’d love a beach visit too and is it Easy to get from the airport? Sorry loads of questions. Any recommendations, advice would be great. Thank you

I just left and wouldn’t recommend alfama to stay it is up high on the hill , very old area. We stayed right in the city center a few blocks from rossio square e you can walk to everything.
Staying in Alfama district in March traveling with group of 7. Do we need to make diner reservations in advance? Suggestions for local places welcome.

Perfect area to stay in Lisbon. Most of the restaurants are very small, so I would recommend reservations for a group of 7. Same day is fine; your hotel should be able to help with this. As you wander the small Aflame streets, you will stumble onto nice restaurants. Be sure and pick one that has Fado. This will triple your enjoyment and it will be easy to find in the Aflame. We enjoyed a small restaurant called Fado da Morgadinha, Largo Peneireiro 5. Really liked the food and music. Indoor and outdoor dining. You can make reservations online.
Hello, wondering what the best way to visit Alfama would be? Can one do it without a guide? Do we need to pay admissions fees for sites? If we walk around by ourselves, will we not get enough of the historical/cultural perspective that a guide would provide?

We did it by ourselves and we were fortunate to get a free tour guide from the hotel we stayed at which was invaluable, he gave us historical information, recommended restaurants, places to visit etc. Some of the places we visited didn’t cost a lot to visit and you were provided with leaflets in your language to assist. Also, Google is great tool to get more information if you need it.
