Alfama, the oldest part of Lisbon. Visitors can walk along its narrow streets where they can see fish sellers carrying
baskets on their heads. In Belém, the city’s port, tourists can visit the Mosteiro dos Jerfinimos, a beautiful monastery
built in the 16th century. Baixa, the busy shopping area of the city, offers a great variety of handmade souvenirs and
elegant designer clothes.

delicious seafood at first-class restaurants. For those who like to dance the night away there are many trendy
