This Lisbon Walking Tour will take you through the origins of Lisbon, behind the city walls and inside the Alfama district - a 2 to 3 hour walking tour. We start with the Phoenicians, who named it “quiet bay”, followed by the Romans – the first major settlers – to the Arabs, who shaped the old town alleys. The geography and climate of Lisbon were the greatest temptation for all the communities who settled here. This is still the case today, incidentally. The old district of Alfama, sitting on the hill facing the river, still exhibits strong references to maritime activities, from fishing to freight handling, that were once on top of the job opportunities list. Its inhabitants maintain a unique lifestyle, with a strong sense of community, influenced by an urban density and the narrowness of the streets, making this neighborhood a small village inside the big city.

Pedro gave us a good overview of Portuguese history at the beginning of the walk. The context was helpful as we moved into the smaller neighborhood. He lives in the neighborhood and his love the place really comes through on the tour. Loved learning about the construction of Arab cities to battle the heat and the history of the Jews in Portugal.

Enjoyed a very informative tour. Really know appreciate the deep cultural history of Lisbon. One couple monopolized his time and many in the group could not hear his answers.
