Activities & Attractions

• Get lost in the Alfama District • The oldest district of Lisbon with narrow alleys, breathtaking views and amazing restaurants.
• Ride Tram 28 • The iconic Tram 28 has been working its way up the steep, cobbled roads and into the old Alfama district for decades (take Tram 28).
• Torre de Belém • Built in the 16th century and one of the most iconic features of the city.

• Time Out Market • Lisbon’s most famous food market. You can try almost anything from the Portuguese cuisine and then finish up with a 1€ espresso. We would recommend going midday during the week to avoid the crowds and guarantee a seat at a table.
• Feira da Ladra / Mercado de Santa Clara • Alfama's historic flea market is the place to go for antique shopping. The market originated in Lisbon in the 12th Century.
• Campo de Ourique Market • Smaller and less touristy than Time Out Market, Campo de Ourique Market is one of the oldest neighbourhood markets in Lisbon. Stalls sell fresh produce, fish, and meat.
