Days of total pleasure exploring this ancient part of Lisbon. Little bars, fado music, all within the historical streets with speciality cakes and seafood were my target. The safety and peace has me wishing to return.

I think it is special in the morning not in the night. Because the pink painting of walls is distinguishable in day light and makes it a perfect place for taking pictures

Excellent, safe area in the center of Lisbon. Many musicians on the streets. Know that there is a climb as it is hilly.

Great area of Lisbon to walk around. Tons of places to eat and drink here. If you're looking for good food and a fun atmosphere head here. Don't know how often they happen but there was also a fun little outdoor festival/food truck thing happening that was fun to dip into as well.

A walk through the Bairro Alto is a “must do” while visiting Lisboa. Beautiful narrow streets full of life. If you can drop in a Fado music place to experience the beautiful and traditional music- another “must do”.
