Opened in 2019, the pedestrian walkway on the old city walls is free and accessible daily between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The entrance is on the right side of the facade of the Alberto Sampaio Museum. Walk one way to the top of Avenida Alberto Sampaio, next to Largo Condessa Mumadona, and exit the courtyard through the side door of the wall at Porta do Burgo.
The view from the top is sublime and unique.

A beautifully designed path along the old city wall.
The entrance is somewhat hidden.
