Bairro Alto

Bairro Alto is situated right in Lisboa city centre and is one of the typical quarters with its narrow steep streets with old buildings, many of them restored.
Bairro Alto (or just the Bairro as it is known) is the heart of Lisbon's youth and of the Portuguese capital's nightlife frequented by different generations that here can find a huge variety of bars, lounges, Fado houses and restaurants.
The blend between old neighbours and younger ones that found in Bairro Alto one of the most cosmopolitans spots in Lisboa, is reflected in the commerce, where one can find the typical tiny grocery and bakery shops to the designers ateliers, tattoo and piercing shops… The same street will look completely different if visited in day time or in night time. Bairro Alto is nowadays known as the intellectuals, artists and bohemians area, side by side with the Chiado quarter.
