Memmo Alfama

Top choice in Alfama, Castelo & Graça


Wow, what a view! Alfama unfolds like origami from the stylishly decked roof terrace of the Memmo Alfama hotel. It's a perfect sundowner place, with dreamy vistas over the rooftops, spires and down to the Rio Tejo (and, unfortunately, the new cruise-ship terminal). Cocktails cost €7.50 to €10.
