This soul-stirring genre is an essential part of Portuguese culture, and attending a live performance in the historic neighborhoods of Alfama or Mouraria is a truly unforgettable experience. As the mournful melodies and poignant lyrics fill the air, you&#8217;ll find yourself transported to the very essence of the Portuguese soul, evoking a sense of longing, love, and loss known as &#8220;saudade.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many intimate venues, known as &#8220;casas de fado,&#8221; offer the opportunity to not only listen to Fado but also to enjoy delicious local cuisine in a cozy, candlelit atmosphere.

The tram gets especially crowded in the summer, so consider riding it during off-peak times. If you get on at the first stop, Martim Moniz, you&#8217;ll deal with fewer lines, riding all the way up the hills to Campo do Ourique. Then, you can do the same route walking down. If you really want to avoid the crowds, brave the hilly walk up, and plan to take the tram down in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leisurely Explore the Alfama&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-things-to-do-alfama.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-things-to-do-alfama.jpg\" alt=\"Explore the Alfama Neighborhood in Lisbon\" class=\"wp-image-5546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-things-to-do-alfama.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-things-to-do-alfama-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-things-to-do-alfama-310x233.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The view from our rooftop Airbnb looking out and over the city of Lisbon and Alfama.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alfama district is the oldest in Lisbon.

The 19th-century attraction is a sight in itself, covered in geometric, neo-gothic patterns and arches on the outside. Although the elevator is actually part of Lisbon&#8217;s public transport network, you can also enjoy city views from the viewing platform. But get ready for long waits, as the platform can only hold 29 people at once (the same as the elevator).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/travel-resources\/tips-plan-wine-country-honeymoon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>7 Tips to Plan Your Dream Wine Country Honeymoon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roofless Ruins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-unique-things-to-do-carmo-convent-cathedral.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-unique-things-to-do-carmo-convent-cathedral.jpg\" alt=\"Underrated Things to do in Lisbon Portugal - Visit the Carmo Cathedral Ruins | Winetraveler.com\" class=\"wp-image-5541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-unique-things-to-do-carmo-convent-cathedral.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-unique-things-to-do-carmo-convent-cathedral-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lisbon-unique-things-to-do-carmo-convent-cathedral-310x206.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Lisbon&#8217;s most interesting attractions is the roofless convent and church, the Carmo Convent.
