Alice's apartment is wonderful for many reasons, but what I hadn't realized before staying there was how easy it would be to walk everywhere that interested us. The Alfama is close by, as are the center of the city (Baixa), the river and port, and the do-not-miss tile museum (Museu Nacional do Azulejo ). Our last day was warm and sunny so we walked 10 miles without even noticing it! I also would like to mention how comfortable the beds were (we were two couples), and that everything we needed for cooking was available.
