Lisbon is built across seven hills overlooking the Tagus River, and its oldest neighborhoods were never designed with vehicle traffic in mind — Alfama's lanes twist and climb so steeply that many are stepped rather than paved for cars. A tuk-tuk, small and nimble, can reach corners of the city that a coach or standard car simply can't, which is a big part of why this format has become such a popular way to see Lisbon's real highlights without the climbing.
Alfama itself is Lisbon's oldest surviving neighborhood, and its survival is largely an accident of geography. When the catastrophic earthquake of 1 November 1755 struck, followed by a tsunami and days of fires, it leveled most of the low-lying city center — but Alfama's position on a steep granite hillside, well above the flood line, meant that while it was damaged, its tangled medieval street plan and Moorish-era foundations largely survived. Riding through it today is one of the few ways to see what pre-earthquake Lisbon actually looked like.
Belém, by contrast, tells a very different chapter of the city's history. It was from this riverside district that Vasco da Gama's fleet departed in 1497 on the voyage that opened a sea route to India, and the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower that now stand there — both commissioned under King Manuel I in the early 1500s, and together recognized as a single UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983 — were built to commemorate exactly that era of Portuguese maritime exploration.
