HARTFORD IN LISBON

PART 1

Alfama

STEP 1 - CULINARY DESTINATIONS

Alfama charms visitors with its authentic atmosphere and winding alleys lined with small cafés and artisan shops. The legendary No. 28 tram winds its way through the neighborhood, offering a ride at the city’s own pace up to the heights of Lisbon. From the Graça viewpoint, the view stretches over the rooftops and the Tagus River, and in the evening, the atmosphere becomes more intimate: in some restaurants, fado singers accompany the meal for a true local experience.

Our selection of local and gourmet spots:

  • Casa São Miguel : A café and pastry shop with a unique interior inspired by the early 20th century, Casa São Miguel is undoubtedly one of the most hidden gems in the streets of Alfama, where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee paired with a Portuguese treat.
  • Antù : Located in one of the neighborhood’s most iconic buildings, Antù is a concept restaurant offering a diverse dining experience. Discover three floors of Portuguese art and history, along with a refined menu to enjoy on their beautiful terrace.
  • Lautasco : Tucked away at the end of a typical alleyway is Lautasco, a restaurant with an authentic, unpretentious atmosphere. We especially love the selection of fish and the terrace.
  • Santo Antonio Pastry Shop : a hidden gem where you can enjoy what is undoubtedly one of the best pastéis de nata in Lisbon—a must-try to truly appreciate its flavors. Eat it there while it’s still warm for an unforgettable taste experience.

BAIRO ALTO

STEP 2 - WALK & EXPLORE

Explore the cobblestone streets of the bohemian Bairro Alto neighborhood, where a unique atmosphere awaits around every corner. Along the way, soak up the warm ambiance, with its cafés, small artisanal shops, and colorful street art. Take the Bica Funicular for a quintessential Lisbon experience, visit the magnificent Church of Saint Roch, then head up to the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city. After sunset, the neighborhood comes alive: crowds gather in the bars, while traditional restaurants echo with the sounds of fado, for a quintessentially Lisbon evening.

  • Diário de Notícias Street : the main street in the Biarro Alto neighborhood. Though bustling, it has managed to retain its old-world charm with its buildings covered in azulejos and wrought-iron balconies. A lovely starting point for letting yourself be carried along as you wander through the streets of Lisbon.
  • Bica Funicular : In the steep alleys of Lisbon, the Bica Funicular has been winding its way since 1892, connecting the bustling Cais do Sodré neighborhood to the heights of Bairro Alto. As it climbs Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, it passes through a scene straight out of a postcard: colorful facades, laundry hanging from balconies, and, below, a view that opens up onto the Tagus River.
  • Luís de Camões Square : dominated by the statue of the epic poet Luís de Camões, it is lined with majestic buildings featuring classical facades and calçada portuguesa paving—the typical Lisbon pavement with its undulating black-and-white patterns.
  • São Pedro de Alcântara Lookout : Perched high above the Bairro Alto neighborhood, the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara offers one of the most spectacular views of Lisbon. This terraced garden, adorned with statues and shaded benches, invites visitors to linger and take it all in, whether at sunrise or sunset.

STEP 3 - FINAL STROLLS

Located on the banks of the Tagus River, Cais das Colunas is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks. These two marble columns, remnants of the former royal gate, once marked the ceremonial entrance for dignitaries arriving by river. Today, this pier offers a breathtaking view of the 25 de Abril Bridge and the shimmering horizon of the Tagus. A popular spot for strolling, it invites you to take a break by the tranquil waters, lulled by the unique atmosphere of the Portuguese capital. Between the reflections on the water and the majestic architecture, this iconic spot perfectly showcased our collection, blending elegance and timelessness in a setting steeped in history.
