Have you already explored the historical center of Lisbon? Then join the Free Alfama and Mouraria Tour in Lisbon and dive into the depths of the capital, exploring the oldest and most exciting neighborhoods of this thousand-year-old city: Alfama and Mouraria. Sail through its intricate streets with a local guide and discover the Muslim footprint that remains after more than four hundred years of domination. Cherish its chaotic urbanism, which will make you feel as if you were standing in the middle of a medina in northern Africa. Discover the Arab legacy of the tile that became one of the icons of the city and find out about the city’s foundation.

Unravel the details of the feat that lies behind the Christian conquest and explore one of the city’s most impressive Muslim citadels, now known as St. George’s Castle, overtaken thanks to Martim Moniz’s glorious heroism, and find out about the exciting and decisive siege of Lisbon of 1147. In addition, you will visit the famous Se, the Lisbon cathedral which holds the relics of the patron saint of the city, Saint Vincent. During the Free Tour of Alfama and Mouraria, you will explore the part of Lisbon that has not yet been devoured by tourists, a Lisbon that is apparently isolated in time and therefore better preserved, the Lisbon that sings to itself the glories of a better past.

Enjoy Lisbon’s most beautiful views, soaking in the privileged location of its viewpoints, places where locals and foreigners alike gather to enjoy the picturesque scenery. Discover the Mouraria neighborhood as well, where you will stroll down the cradle of fado. Legend has it that in the 19th century, Maria Severa created the Saudade, the melancholic music that reflects—through its tragic melodies and profound lyrics—the country’s essence. After her, an endless number of great fadistas left their mark in the neighborhood, such as Fernando Mauricio or the famous Amalia Rodrigues.
