Ribeira das Naus Promenade

Highlight • Trail

The Avenida da Ribeira das Naus connects the Praça do Comércio at the southern end of the center (Baixa) with the Cais do Sodré, a junction for trains, boats, subways and trams. Not far from there is the modernized market hall Mercado da Ribeira with many restaurants.

The Avenida itself was renovated just a few years ago and a beautiful promenade was created.

Alfama District

Highlight • Settlement

The steep streets of Alfama, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lisbon, are lined with traditional handicraft shops and cafes. The historic 28E tram winds its way across Alfama up to the 11th-century Castle of São Jorge. From the terrace of the Viewpoint Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen there is a wonderful view over the city and the river Tajo. In the evenings, melancholy fado music wafts out of some of the established local restaurants.

A very nice walk along the water, with three beautiful sights. It's 20km, but it's flat, with a few restaurants and food trucks, and you can return by metro or tram.
