    Bairro Alto

    Bohemian is the most natural of adjectives to describe the Bairro Alto, as the area is famous for the nightlife that animates the steep streets of this Lisbon hill, where every door opens to the outside, a bar, a restaurant or a fado house. But the days in the Bairro Alto are equally full of life with an eclectic and creative offer, side by side with the traditional churches and monuments.
