Visit visit Alfama is the architecture, sounds and smells of old Lisbon. This is one of the most typical quarters of Lisbon. In its narrow winding streets and find the hidden treasure of Alfama and on its steep stairs you can breathe the soul of Lisbon. In Alfama, you can still see traces of Roman occupation and Arabic, two of the most dominant civilizations in the past in Lisbon. The narrow streets, the result of Muslim culture, guided by individualistic rules that public spaces are not important. These streets are a trademark of the Koran, where little value is given to the detriment of the interior facades of the houses, which is much appreciated. Alfama was once home to the unlucky, delinquents or ungrateful, and due to its proximity to the sea, was also home to many sailors.
