We HAVE to get to Portugal soon and Lisbon, naturally, will be on the list, as will all things near and around Lisbon. Your tip to start at the top and start early — as the crowds will begin to gather — is such a good one. And who knew … you can ride a system of elevators up so you only have to walk downhill, hopefully in the direction of a nice delicious dinner — the Farol de Santa Luzia sounds perfect.

I was just thinking that Alfama had so many beautiful views and then I read that very sentence in your post (great minds…)! Alfama is beautiful and I had never heard of it before reading your post. Views from atop are one of my favorite things about cities so this works well for me. I also love checking out churches and monasteries!

This looks like a lovely and peaceful area to visit even if it’s just for the amazing view of Lisbon. It’s a great alternative to the touristy hub in Lisbon.

Hah! Though the activities you mentioned are fun even for someone without any kids, like myself, I thought the without part would come at the end. And you’d leave the kids at the airbnb and go out to experience the wild nightlife :))

My sister has been to this area and she absolutely loved it. I like to just wander the streets and would definitely take your suggestion on doing that. The architecture is so colorful and I love the cobblestone streets. I’ll make sure to look into he self-guided walking tours online 🙂

I love that mural about the history of Lisbon .. even though I visit museums and art galleries when I’m exploring a new city, I love photographing the street art just as much.

Portugal is on our list, but I wasn’t familiar with Alfama Lisbon. This looks like the perfect place to spend a day. Our kids would also love exploring Castelo São Jorge, and the “wandering” is reminiscent of our time in Venice.
