The neighborhood

The neighborhood of Bairro Alto embodies the bohemian soul of Lisbon. Frequented by artists, intellectuals, designers but also by the Lisboans who have lived there from generation after generation.

The decor of this neighborhood evolves according to two distinct facets; A neighborhood life by day, and a more lively nightlife.

During the day, we discover a colorful and quiet district. Animations are made on the edges of the restaurant terraces that emanate the smell of traditional cuisine, but also near the Rua do Norte, where trendy fashion boutiques flourish.
