Full of atmosphere and lots of places to eat. Very busy at night with bars and cafes. Locals congregate around the bars as do the tourists. The local youths seem to hang out in the street drinking, but they are usually in mixed company and non-threatening. I have to say I find Portuguese people extremely friendly and welcoming. I was...

I recommend exploring as many neighborhoods as you have time and energy for. Keep in mind that Lisbon is a hilly city and getting from point A to point B is not always as easy as it might appear on a map. Get a day pass on the Metro system (for all forms of inner city transport) and you will... More 

Located in Lisbon’s creative hub, bohemian Bairro Alto and chick Chiado, neighborhood celebrates art and design throughout. With Mediterranean influences, young crowd, great bars, plenty of restaurant to choose from, and live music makes this district a must go to place in Lisbon. Absolutely delightful!

Spent walking up and down the streets of this beautiful part of the city which houses stores and shops of every nature along with tabernas , tapas, beautiful architecture, and one of the most unique bars in the world......with a barbershop at the front !

It was a gentle walk past some interesting small shops including a lovely little bread shop with a window display of bread birds & a fabulous pizza oven and an old fashioned toy shop. The vista has an outdoor cafe, a fountain and hosts an occasional weekend market. It's... More 

The area is littered with clubs and bars, but isn't an area where you feel safe. Be prepared to be asked if you want to buy hashish or cocaine every other minute. After a while it got tiresome and the drug dealers are very persistent. You are better off not replying and just keep walking.

Nice place to hang around. Good restaurants and bars for every budget. Don't miss Barrio Alto. Walk their streets enjoy local places. Bring your camera as you will get some awesome pictures

This is the main district for those who want to see and feel Lisbon after sunset. Much to see and do also daytime, but when the darkness comes, this area comes to life. Bars, pubs, terraces, restaurants for everyone, from traditional Fado to modern nightclubs. Metro doesn's go up there, so taxi or tram is your way of transport

It is an interesting area, still functioning as a neighborhood, but so many people/ tourists are out and about during evening and night hours. Tram 28 or metro (Baixa-Chiado) will get you there. There are numerous options for fado and dozens of restaurants. Our favorite restaurant for fado, tasty food, and friendly staff was "Bom Garfo" on Rua Diário de... More
