About this experience
Discover Alfama as you’ve never seen it before — from sunset into the night. This private walking experience takes you through hidden lanes, ancient stairways and atmospheric corners of Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood. Along the way, I’ll share fascinating stories, local legends and unexpected details about Alfama’s history and everyday life. You’ll discover the tradition of fado vadio and I’ll sing a fado for you. We’ll also explore traditional restaurants and taverns and I’ll share personal recommendations for experiencing local food and life.
This is not a conventional sightseeing tour. It is a personal encounter with Alfama, combining history, legends, music, food and local life. The experience is completely private and adapted to you — whether you are travelling alone, as a couple or with your family.
