Largo da Sé · 1100-585 Lisboa · Alfama
The cathedral is at Largo da Sé, 1100-585 Lisboa, at the foot of the Alfama district, between the Baixa and São Jorge Castle.
It stands on the tram 28 line, opposite the Church of Santo António and a short walk below the Portas do Sol viewpoint.
The famous tram 28E stops right outside, at Sé. It's often packed; board at the Martim Moniz terminus for a seat.
The nearest stations are Terreiro do Paço (blue line) and Baixa-Chiado (green and blue lines), both about a 10-minute walk away.
Several Carris bus lines stop near the Sé on their way up to Alfama and the castle. Check your route in the Carris app.
A taxi or ride-hailing car can drop you on Largo da Sé, though the narrow streets get congested.
From Praça do Comércio, walk east along Rua da Prata or Rua dos Fanqueiros and up the hill: about 10 minutes, uphill all the way.
The Lisboa Card covers tram 28, buses and the metro, and gives the reduced €5 entry to the cathedral.
Some of Lisbon's best sights are within a short walk of the Sé:
