The Bairro Alto is one of Lisbon’s most popular and attractive night spots. Victorian lanterns light the streets and there are untold fado cafes, discos and bars and luxury eating-places. A visit during the day to this colourful old part of Lisbon will take you through narrow cobblestone streets and alleys with steep staircases. Ancient buildings, having survived the earthquake of 1755, are home to many as is testified by the many lines of laundry strung from windows and balconies. Women follow the cries of the fishmongers on their way to the food markets. Taste some of Lisbon here in the Bairro Alto and take with you a fine memory of your visit to Portugal.

Yes, the true taste of Portugal is definitely Lisbon's Bairro Alto, and not Nandos, contrary to popular belief. You will taste comfort and all that is good in the top class Lisbon hotels, and guaranteed you will return to Lisbon to taste more.
