Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Right around the corner from Castelo São Jorge, this large, elegant home is within walking distance of most central Lisbon sights – perfect for a first-time visitor to the city. Thanks to the original windows, this apartment enjoys fantastic natural light – and the well-executed hangout spots under them are great for reading. The carefully selected furniture works well with the original architectural features, and your hosts have been careful not to overfill the home. You'll be staying in Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest neighbourhoods, famous for fado houses and wonderful hospitality. After exploring on foot, your home is conveniently close to a stop on the iconic number 12 tram, which means you can rest up as you trundle back up the hill. End the day in true local style at Botequim, a couple of hundred metres up the road. Grab a seat outside this iconic Lisbon watering hole and sip on a glass of local wine as the sun sets.

Local guide
About Graça
Graça is the highest point of Lisbon's seven hills, sitting just above the beautiful Alfama. You’ll find some of the best views of the city in this neighbourhood. Wind your way slowly up and down the cobbled streets, pausing at viewpoints to take in the pastel-painted walls of Alfama. The downside to the incredible views is the steepness of Graça – we advise taking it steady and calling in to local bars and restaurants for regular energy-boosts. As the sun sets over Lisbon, you’ll find your efforts in finding the perfect terrace worthwhile.
