You roll away from a narrow Alfama lane as the Tagus morning exhales salt and light; the tuk‑tuk hums, its open sides framing church domes, tram cables and pastel façades that tilt toward the river. The driver-guide steers where buses cannot, slipping up stepped streets and pausing at miradouros that pull the city into a single panoramic breath.
