    Spirit

    For a long time, this region was a secluded estate primarily cultivating rice. Characterized by low white houses and traditional thatched-roof fishing huts, a style now embraced by many new holiday homes. The menu features fish, seafood, and rice dishes like Arroz de Peixe.

    On the Go

    No car, you're stranded; buses are rare. The drive from Lisbon takes a good hour. Alternatively, from Setúbal, take the car ferry to Tróia and drive down the peninsula. A bike is ideal for the village, beaches, and rice fields.

    Alfama

    Alfama

    The Alfama is Lisbon's oldest district and stretches steeply down from the castle hill to the Tejo. Its labyrinth of streets dates from Moorish times and withstood the 1755 earthquake because the district stands on solid rock. Stairs, small squares, viewing terraces, and Fado venues define its character.
    Lisbon

    Lisbon

    Lisbon is situated on several hills on the north bank of the Tagus Estuary, a good 15 kilometers from the Atlantic. The capital links the winding alleys of Alfama, the Baixa, rebuilt to plan after the 1755 earthquake, and the monuments of the Age of Discoveries in Belém. Viewpoints, yellow trams, and Fado venues are part of the city's everyday life.
    Baixa Pombalina

    Baixa Pombalina

    The Baixa Pombalina is the lower town located between Rossio and Tejo. After the 1755 earthquake, Marquês de Pombal had it rebuilt in a grid pattern, featuring uniform facades and one of Europe's earliest earthquake-proof constructions. Today, it serves as the old town's business center, offering pedestrian zones, squares, and traditional shops.
    Bairro Alto

    Bairro Alto

    The Bairro Alto is located on a hill west of Baixa and was laid out in a grid in the 16th century. By day, a quiet residential area with small shops and studios, the narrow streets fill up from late evening with people standing outside tiny bars. On its edge lie Chiado and two of the city's most famous viewpoints.
