Bairro Alto and the view point
We are ending our tour at this amazing viewpoint. It is offering incredible panoramic views of this beautiful city and the all-important photo opportunity!
With the arrival Portuguese Christian control in Lisbon in the XII century, the Moorish community were confined to a neighbourhood just outside the city walls, thus creating Mouraria. A religious minority community back then, nowadays Mouraria continues to thrive as a multi-ethnic community full of rich history and cultures. As you walk through the narrow streets, our expert guide will uncover the past of this neighbourhood and its people. Only in Mouraria will you encounter the birthplace of Fado and Maria Severa, and understand the roots of Fado music. Detached from the hustle and bustle of Lisbon’s centre, Mouraria is a small village within a city!
