If you’re looking for things to do in Alfama, start with the obvious landmarks. Then deliberately get lost between them.
If you have four to six hours to spare, this itinerary will help you discover the very best of Marvila without feeling rushed. It’s a route designed for travelers who enjoy architecture, street art, local food, craft beer, riverside walks, and discovering the Lisbon that many visitors never see.
