Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon's oldest and most traditional neighbourhoods, a charming blend of old and new coming together in the most exciting way. During the day, Bairro Alto is filled with locals going about their lives and visitors meandering through its narrow, cobbled streets, up and down the hill, exploring the myriad of alternative shops, galleries, typical grocery shops, and many cultural spots. At night, this hip neighbourhood comes to life with bar-goers looking for the perfect drink or some live music in the several bars and restaurants available and ready to welcome everyone. Around Bairro Alto we can find other lovely neighbourhoods, all at walkable distance, like Príncipe Real, Santa Catarina, Bica and Chiado.
