The walls of Castle St George (Castelo São Jorge) dominate the city of Lisbon.
This is the historic heart of Lisbon. The view is spectacular.
King Alfonso I conquered it from the Moors in 1147. Shortly afterwards, until the beginning of the 13th century, the imposing Cathedral (Sé in Portuguese) was built on the lower side of the castle.
Arriving at the top of the hill, it is recommended to go and enjoy the view of the different points of view: Miradouro da Graça, Miradouro da Santa Luzia and Miradouro da Senhora do Monte.
Do not miss either to stroll along the paths of the flea market in Feira da Ladra and visit the National Pantheon.
To reach the river, there is nothing like descending through the narrow streets of the popular neighborhood of Alfama, which is rocked at night by the nostalgic melodies of the Fado singers.
Voilà Lisboa!
