[4K] Alfama, Lisbon's Oldest and Most Charming District! 🥰 Walking Tour | Portugal

Historic walking tour in Alfama, Lisbon's most emblematic neighboorhood, with detailed historical information and context. Alfama is one of the most rewarding neighboorhoods for walkers and photographers thanks to its medieval alleys and outstanding views!

Alfama is the ancient heart of Lisbon and was once occupied by the Phoenicians, a thousand years before Christ. In turn came the Romans, then the Visigoths followed by the Moors. This is the usual order and recurring pattern of historical settlement in large parts of central and southern Portugal. It was to be the Moors who gave the lasting name to this area of the capital, from the Arabic "alhama", meaning "hot springs".

Alfama is home to many of the city's most important attractions: the Sáo Jorge Castle, once a castle of the Moors, Lisbon Cathedral (Sé), the city's main church, and the historic Casa dos Bicos dating from the early 16th century.

The Alfama district has an intangible quality that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated, and the best way to get to know it is to get a little lost (something almost impossible to avoid), and wander around admiring the postcard-perfect views, visiting the churches, and walking up to the castle for the most breathtaking panorama of the city and the greatest sunsets.

This walk was filmed in 4K resolution, first-person point of view with captions (no talking), for a more immersive experience!
