Lisbon Old Town

Wander Lisbon’s Old Town, where cobbled lanes, tiled facades, and tram-lined hills reveal centuries of history, charm, and vibrant local life.

Lisbon’s Old Town is a captivating maze of narrow cobbled streets, pastel-colored houses, and tiled facades, where history comes alive around every corner. From the hilltop São Jorge Castle to the echoing Fado music drifting through Alfama, this area reflects the city’s Moorish roots, maritime past, and artistic soul. Yellow trams rattle through steep lanes, locals chat from wrought-iron balconies, and the scent of grilled sardines wafts through traditional taverns. It’s a place where time slows down, inviting you to explore hidden courtyards, panoramic viewpoints, and centuries-old traditions woven into everyday life.
