This was part of A Taste of Iberia - Day 1 馃嚨馃嚬 馃敆.
I made it to Pra莽a Dom Pedro IV just in time to join the 11:00 AM Alfama Free Walking Tour by Discover Lisbon. Our guide was Francisco. He told us about the history of Lisbon and then we stepped into Casa do Alentejo to see the beautiful Moorish courtyard.
We walked back to Largo de S茫o Domingos and got some time to visit Igreja de S茫o Domingos.
We then walked up Escadinhas de S茫o Crist贸v茫o and learnt a bit about Fado culture in Lisbon.
As we made our way uphill, we reached Miradouro do Ch茫o do Loureiro with sweeping views of the city.
We walked through Arco do Castelo and made a quick pit stop at Especialidade do Recolhimento to sample some Ginjinha. It was nice and sweet!
Francisco also got us into Parque Infantil e de Lazer do Recolhimento and Miradouro do Recolhimento to see another set of panoramic views of the city.
He asked us if we want to see another viewpoint of some Roman ruins. Most of the group opted to see the Roman ruins, as we had already visited two viewpoints. So Museu de Lisboa - Teatro Romano was our next stop.
Our tour ended at Igreja de Santo Ant贸nio de Lisboa where we were told the background and some local stories about the place.
