BAIRRO ALTO

Bairro Alto's association with the bohemian lifestyle goes back several centuries. Today, it is known for being the area of Lisbon with the largest concentration of bars, and also for being a residential area with old palaces.

Although a typical Lisbon community, Bairro Alto also has large chunks of modernity about it. Meeting people, in a multicultural and eclectic environment is one good reason to stroll around its streets, lanes and alleyways. Good-quality restaurants sit side-by-side with cosy bookshops, and tea shops jostle with designer clothes shops owned by some of the most famous Portuguese artists.
It is a passionate neighbourhood that combines sophistication with tradition and old-world charm.
