As you explore the picturesque alleys, you'll discover delightful local shops, cafés, and restaurants.
Your journey then leads you to the open space of Praça Infante Dom Henrique, where you can admire the Infante statue, visit the Slave Route Museum Centre, and explore historical gems like the Royal Warehouse, Santa Maria Church, Alcácer-Quibir Triptych, and Santo António Church.
From there, continue your tour through the Governors' Castle and exit the old town via Saint Gonçalo's Arch.
