Location and Surroundings

Lisbon is a legendary city with over 2000 years of history and Alfama is one of the oldest districts. Since it largely survived the earthquake of 1755, the area still retains much of its original layout. Adjacent to Alfama are the districts of Castelo and Mouraria, on the western and northern slopes of the hill that is crowned by Castelo de São Jorge.

Every year in June, the streets of these districts come alive with festivities in honour of the popular saints. The Graça quarter and the churches of São Vicente de Fora and Santa Engrácia are within walking distance of this area.

Radiant skies brighten this lovely city, with its typical azulejo covered façades and narrow streets, where one can hear Fado being played and sung at night. But Lisbon is also the stage for popular festivities, the place for exquisite shopping, exciting nightlife, and interesting museums.
