## The neighborhood Alfama is Lisbon's most emblematic quarter and one of the most rewarding for walkers and photographers thanks to its medieval alleys and outstanding views. As one of Europe’s oldest neighbourhoods. It was settled as far back as the Iron Age, and later occupied by the Romans, Visigoths and other Germanic tribes, before becoming the heart of Moorish Lisbon. With the conquest of the city by Portugal’s first king in 1147, the Moors were either killed in the siege or segregated in Mouraria, and Alfama became home to the upper classes. It was also the Jewish quarter until the Jews were expelled (together with all other non-Christians who didn’t convert) in 1497. As Lisbon expanded, the wealthy residents moved west, leaving Alfama to the fishing community. ## Getting around Services like UBER, Carjet and Bolt are available for download in Lisbon. The nearest metro line is Santa Apolónia (Blue Line) which is 800m/ 13-minutes away by foot, but there are a good number of bus stops close to the apartment. Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is 21-minutes away by car from the apartment.
