Alfama Patio Hostel - Portugal, Lisbon Hostel

ALFAMA district is a pearl to be discovered...
The labyrinth of streets resembles a North African city, harking back to its rich Islamic heritage.

Alfama is the original settlement of the city and the most traditional district of the Old Town:

- Some of the most visited monuments are at walking distance: Lisbon Castel, Se Cathedral, and National Pantheon
- Remnants of secular traditions: this is the place that gave birth to Fado; where the yearly city party takes place; the historical fishermen quarter;
- The best fishes in Town still in its local restaurants;
- The age old Feira da Ladra (flee market);
- Beautiful tiles inside and outside the houses.
- And even today, as in the past: white clothes hanging at the windows to dry, colourful flowers, legendary yellow trams winding up its narrow streets.
