Near Santa Apolonia: Alfama and beyond

Santa Apolonia sits inside Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood, where the medieval street layout survived the 1755 earthquake and still carries trams and Fado music through narrow lanes. Praça do Comércio is only 1.3 km away, an easy walk or a two-minute metro ride via Terreiro do Paço.

Alfama itself has no metro station of its own, but Santa Apolonia and Terreiro do Paço bracket the neighbourhood, with Tram 28 and Tram 12E providing access in between. Note that trains to Faro and the Algarve leave from Estação do Oriente, not Santa Apolonia, so don't arrive here expecting a southern express.
