Lisbon Cruise Destination

Alfama is a must see: it’s around the oldest part of Lisbon (although its not as old as it looks because a lot of it was lovingly rebuilt in the eighteenth century following a severe earthquake in 1755). The ten-towered Castle of St. George was almost the only structure that survived it, and its twelfth century architecture is superb. There’s also Lisbon Cathedral which dates back to the thirteenth century though it was one of the places to be rebuilt after the earthquake. The Baixa district is the shopping area, and has good restaurants, tapas bars and cafes on the pavements.
