Is Lisbon a safe city? 09.11.2009

When you go to some place, especially on vacation, you always think about safety.
So, how safe is Lisbon?
Violent crimes and mugging are extremly rare.
On the other hand, minor crime like pick pocketing and bag snatching have increased.
Simple attitudes are enough to avoid unpleasant situations: keep an eye on your luggage on public transport, don´t show expensive values in the street and, at night, try to walk in places with good light. Attitudes that attract unecesary attention are not recommended.

Apartments in Alfama - the oldest district of Lisbon 06.11.2009

Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the St George Castle and the Tagus river.

The Lisbon earthquake in 1975 did not destroy the Alfama district, which has remained a picturesque labyrinth of narrow streets and small squares. Lately the neighbourhood has been invigorated with the renovation of the old houses and new restaurants where Fado can be enjoyed.

Visiting Alfama is to visit the architecture, the sounds and the smells of old Lisbon.
