The Neighborhood:
Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon and has become a trendy and fashionable area that has retained its ancient charm. Explore medieval streets, scenic squares, and walk up to the castle for one of the most breath-taking panoramas of the city.
Getting Around:
Airport Access: A quick 20-minute drive (7km/4 miles) without traffic, or take public transport via metro to/from Terreiro do Paço and a historic tram ride towards Se. Disembark just after Se at 'Limoeiro' (right in front of a zebra crossing). Alternatively, opt for the airport bus to Praca do Commercio and catch a tram.
Arriving by Train: If arriving from Santa Apolonia station, we recommend a taxi. Modern navigation systems may lead you through Alfama's charming but narrow, cobbled streets and staircases, making it challenging with luggage.
Convenient Transport: The bus stop is just a minute's walk away, connecting you to St. Jorge's Castelo (only a 5-minute stroll to the Castle), downtown, and other exciting destinations. The iconic Nº 28 Electric Tram is also a 1-minute walk, taking you to Baixa/Chiado and Estrella to the west or Graca to the east.
Explore Beyond: Plan memorable day trips with ease. Catch a ferry from Cais do Sodre to Cacilas, and then take a bus to visit the sunny south bank with its beaches in Costa da Caparica. Reach train stations like Rossio for Sintra/Queluz and Cais do Sodré for Belém/Estoril/Cascais.
Farther Afield: If you have more time to explore, use Santa Apolónia train station to venture to Porto and Coimbra. Note that this train also stops at Oriente for Lisbon Ocearium and the Expo area.
Your stay in Lisbon becomes an adventure with effortless access to transportation hubs and exciting day trip options.
