Itinerary and highlights

This is by far the most interesting place in the city. If you can only do one area, I would recommend you do this. Highlights include:

• the best views of the city

• the Mourish castle of Saint George (11th century), SE Cathedral (oldest cathedral in town 12th century) and the ruins of the Roman Theater (1st century)

• Fado - traditional Portuguese music (although you can hear this in other places as well, this is where the most authentic Fado houses are, from 7pm onwards)

• Ginginha (Portuguese sour cherry licor) tasting
