Alternatively, Bus 28E runs directly to Cais do Sodré, where a 10-minute walk leads to Alfama, passing landmarks like Belém Tower and Igreja de São Vicente—ideal for scenic views.
For comfort and flexibility, pre-booked airport transfers take around 25 minutes and cost €30–40, especially suitable for families or travelers with heavy luggage.

In Alfama, don’t miss attending a live Fado performance at venues like Casa de Fado or Fado ao Centro, where traditional black-clad singers deliver soulful, melancholic ballads that reflect Lisbon’s emotional depth. Join a hands-on Portuguese tile-making workshop to create your own azulejo designs under guidance from local artisans—a memorable keepsake.
Visit the underground crypt of the Sé Cathedral for a glimpse into medieval religious life. As dusk falls, stroll through Largo das Portas de Santa Maria, where golden sunlight bathes the Tagus River and the city skyline. Pair the moment with a fresh Pastel de Belém—the original custard tart from Belém—served warm and flaky. These immersive experiences are deeply rooted in Alfama’s heritage, offering travelers an authentic connection to Lisbon’s cultural heartbeat.
Hidden gems for photography in Alfama include the back courtyard of Sé Cathedral, where morning light dances across blue-and-white azulejos and ancient stone walls—perfect for minimalist shots. The Santa Justa Lift framed against the distant Lisbon Cathedral from Largo das Portas de Santa Maria creates dramatic perspective.
The side staircase of Igreja de São Vicente, especially after rain when the cobblestones glisten like mirrors, offers surreal reflections. Don’t miss the unmarked street murals tucked deep within alleyways—vibrant, spontaneous artworks capturing local life and identity. Visit during golden hour or early morning to avoid crowds, and use a wide-angle lens to emphasize the district’s intimate scale and rich textures.

Staying here was an absolute delight—perfect location right in the heart of Chiado, just a short walk from everything Lisbon has to offer. The apartment was spacious, beautifully designed, and packed with all the amenities we needed. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and helpful service, making us feel welcome from day one. This was our second visit, and we’re already planning our next trip back. We brought the kids along this time, and they loved the room’s layout and the sense of space. It’s a fantastic choice for families who want comfort, convenience, and quality—all in one.

We stayed in the largest suite and were really impressed by the two full bathrooms with showers—super convenient, especially for a group or family. We spent five nights here, and housekeeping was excellent every day; the room was always clean and fresh. Breakfast was decent—above average, but not quite on par with the Sofitel in Paris, which we’ve experienced before. That said, prices are much more reasonable here, and considering the cost difference, it’s actually a great value. The Paris location truly is premium-priced, so this Lisbon property holds its own well. Outside the hotel, there’s a highly-rated Asian restaurant just across the street—great food, authentic flavors, and a lovely atmosphere. We stopped by for dinner after exploring the city and loved it. Overall, this stay was fantastic. The location is central, the staff friendly, and the rooms spacious and well-designed. I’d definitely come back to Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade on my next visit to Lisbon.

The room was cozy and thoughtfully decorated, with a super comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always going the extra mile to make guests feel at home.

We stayed for four nights and absolutely loved it! The room came with fresh fruit, milk, eggs, coffee, and tea—such a thoughtful welcome. The kitchen was fully equipped with a dishwasher and a coffee maker, making self-catering super convenient. Initially, we were assigned a room with a glass-enclosed toilet and bathtub, which wasn’t quite our style, so we requested a change the next day.
