During our stay in Lisbon, we rented an apartment in the Baixa district, which was the perfect base for exploring the diverse neighborhoods of the city. We were conveniently located near the Tram #28 route, which cuts through the most interesting parts of the city. We hopped on the tram heading east to the Alfama neighborhood and climbed up to the top of the hill to the Castelo de Saõ Jorge, where we caught the above spectacular view of the city.
