Bairro Alto

You’re now in Bairro Alto, one of the city’s most vibrant districts. It really comes alive in the evenings when all the cafés and bars open their doors and people flood the narrow streets. Locals and visitors flock here to spend their evenings swaying to the rhythms of Fado, the popular Portuguese music genre. This place is always packed in the summer months! Plus, this is where you’ll find the cheapest beer in town, sometimes for as little as 1€! Remember to drink responsibly, of course! Aside from its lively nightlife, the so-called “Upper District” is also home to some charming, colorful houses. So trust me when I tell you, a stroll in this 16th-century neighborhood is a must! It’s the perfect place to get a feel for the city’s spirit!
