Hello travellers, My cousin and I are staying in Alfama in June, it’s our first time in Lisbon so I’m hoping we made the right decision on the district to stay in. We hope to be able to visit all the districts with ease from this location. Is it easy to get around? I’d love a beach visit too and is it Easy to get from the airport? Sorry loads of questions. Any recommendations, advice would be great. Thank you

We did it by ourselves and we were fortunate to get a free tour guide from the hotel we stayed at which was invaluable, he gave us historical information, recommended restaurants, places to visit etc. Some of the places we visited didn’t cost a lot to visit and you were provided with leaflets in your language to assist. Also, Google is great tool to get more information if you need it.
