Both World Heritage Sites, they stand out for their beautiful Manueline architecture. Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood, is a place not to be missed. Stretching up the south-eastern slope of the hill crowned by São Jorge Castle, the picturesque neighbourhood is made up of a maze of narrow streets, winding alleys and steep staircases.
