Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Like its lovely downstairs neighbour, Quarta Bicicleta is one of the nicest homes in this part of Alfama – and trust us, we've seen many. The location at the foot of the São Jorge Castle will make sightseeing effortless, and the terrace has some pretty sweet views of the river too. With a coherent modern design and high quality furniture, the only thing we can really fault this home for are the slanting ceilings (if you're tall), and the wall art might not be to everyone's taste.

Local guide
About Alfama
As Lisbon’s oldest neighbourhood, it’s not surprising that Alfama is also the corner of the city with the most character. Here, you’ll get an authentic taste of the real Portugal, away from the tourist-trodden trails of the centre. Unlike most of Lisbon, this area survived the famous 1755 earthquake, preserving an image of the old capital. Steep, cobbled streets are flanked with down-to-earth cafés, crumbling churches and intimate fado venues...

The Castle and its walls have been protecting the city from invaders for many centuries. It is a great spot for taking photos of Lisbon's historical centre.

Graça is not known for its night scene but since Damas opened its doors, this has become a busy place mainly because it always has concerts, performances and cultural events going on.
Brunch down a secret side street at Quase Café
Quase café is tucked away down one of Alfama’s rambling streets and serves a selection of brunch combos as well as home-made fresh juices.
