This was part of A day in Lisbon 🇵🇹.
I made it to Praça 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 there.
We walked to back to Largo de São Domingos and got some time to visit Igreja de São Domingos.
We then walked up Escadinhas de São Cristóvão and learnt a bit about the Fado culture in Lisbon.
As we made our way uphill we reached Miradouro do Chão do Loureiro with sweeping views of the city.
We walked through Arco do Castelo and made a quick pit stop at Especialidade do Recolhimento and 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 since we had been to two viewpoints already. So Museu de Lisboa - Teatro Romano was our next stop.
Our tour ended at Igreja de Santo António de Lisboa where we were told the backgound and some local stories about the place.
