About

Brze činjenice: Uske, kaldrmisane ulice mirišu na pečeni kesten i odjekuju intimnim fado izvođenjima, pa posjetioci lako zaborave vrijeme dok traže skrivene kafane. Na nekoliko vidikovaca može se prebrojati više od stotinu stepenica koje vode do tajanstvenih balkona i panoramskih pogleda, što iznenadi one koji očekuju laganu šetnju.

Istaknuto: Uske vijugave uličice penju se tako strmo da između glavne i vrha zna biti i 100 kamenih stepenica, a stara žičara broj 28 škripi dok prolazi, ostavljajući miris paljenog metala i soli u zraku. Svake godine 12. juna susjedi vise šarene geranijume i peku sardine na ćoškovima, miris dima i limuna miješa se sa ženskim glasovima koji pjevaju fado, pa te kroz otvoreni prozor pozovu na čašu vina i priču do sitnih sati.

Insider tips

Wear grippy shoes for steep, cobbled streets and many steps.
Head to Miradouro de Santa Luzia or Portas do Sol at sunrise or golden hour for the best photos.
Avoid peak midday crowds on Tram 28 by walking the district or taking the tram early or late.
Prebook São Jorge Castle tickets or arrive right when it opens to skip long lines.
