I would not want to stay anywhere else. Alfama is so traditional and beautiful. Every day I discovered something new.
If you are a tourist and want to live in the old part of town, stay in Alfama. It's a 10 minute walk down to the metro (blue line) or 30-40 minutes to the train station for trains to Cascais or Sintra. Discover everything around you! There are so many places to visit. You will receive tips for dining, shopping, and sightseeing. Catia was amazing and fast to respond and communicate throughout my 10 days there. My Tip: You can use the metro or Uber (~8 Euros) from airport. Use your feet and comfortable shoes around Alfama. Go to Castelo de S. Jorge, 10 min walk from house. It's worth the 10 Euros entrance fee. Amazing 360 view of Lisbon. I spent 2 hours there. Love Lisbon! Will be back to discover more! Obrigada! Patricia
