This area is full of interesting sights, such as the Castle, the Cathedral and the famous tram 28, running right down our street. There is a flea market every Tuesday and Saturday just 5 minutes' walk away.
Also, the areas of Alfama or Mouraria are within walking distance and it is a wonderful idea to go there and see the oldest part of town with its Moorish inheritance.
