Classic Route Tour and Photography of Alfama, Lisbon’s old town
<p>“Alfama is the oldest district in Lisbon, located in the hilly area between the Castle of Saint George and the Tagus River. Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma, which means fountain or bath. The area has many important historical landmarks, fado bars and restaurants.” Wikipedia</p>
<p>As someone who has been living in Portugal for almost half a year, I often take a walk and take photos in the alleys of Alfama’s old town when I have free time. I’ve probably walked this classic route four or five times already. From Terriro do Pace subway station, walk up the hill along the classic 28 tram line, passing through commercial squares, the Church of Saint Anthony, Lisbon Cathedral, Saint Lucia viewpoint, Sun Gate viewpoint, and Grace viewpoint. This route is a walk through the old town and streets of Lisbon’s hundred-year history, with picturesque streets. Almost everyone who visits Lisbon must go on this classic route. The entire journey takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete. The distance between attractions is very short, and it may only take a few minutes to reach another attraction. Sometimes I also walk in the opposite direction and try to take photos on different routes in the alleys.</p>
