Is Mouraria worth it on a budget?

Worth itOn a budget

On a budget, Mouraria still earns its price.

Free to wander

Lisbon's most diverse quarter and the true cradle of fado, with Asian and African shops, working-class life and far fewer tourists than neighbouring Alfama. The catch: it's rough around the edges in parts and has fewer marquee sights, so it rewards the curious wanderer over the box-ticker. The antidote to over-polished Lisbon.
