About this property
Heart of Alfama - Where Alfama, Graça & Castle Meet
Discover Lisbon from its most iconic neighbourhoods: Castelo, Alfama, and Graça.
Our apartment sits right where these three historic districts meet — a perfect base to explore the city's soul.
Just an 8-minute walk from the Castle of São Jorge, one of Lisbon’s highest points, you'll enjoy sweeping views over the city and the Tagus River. On your way back, stop by Chapitô, a circus school turned bar and terrace with one of the best panoramic views in Lisbon.
In Alfama, lose yourself in narrow alleys, charming viewpoints, and vibrant riverside spots. Let the sounds of Fado (Portugal’s soulful music, recognised by UNESCO) guide your steps through this atmospheric neighbourhood where it all began.
And from Graça, take in breathtaking views from its famous viewpoints, stroll through the quirky Feira da Ladra flea market (just 4 minutes away), or hop on the iconic tram 28 right around the corner.
These three neighbourhoods are beautifully celebrated in the song "Lisboa Menina e Moça" by Carlos do Carmo — and our apartment is right in the heart of them.

Why they chose this property
This apartment is located where Alfama, Graça and Castelo meet — three of Lisbon’s most iconic and charismatic districts. It’s a peaceful and authentic area with charming streets, beautiful viewpoints, and a strong local identity.
You’re close to everything: the castle, tram 28, Feira da Ladra (One of the oldest flee markets in Europe), the river… and yet, the apartment sits in a quiet square where you can truly relax after a day exploring the city.
