1/2 day
Carmo, Chiado, Bairro Alto and Alfama
Mostly located in the center of Lisbon, the historic districts are a must for anyone visiting the capital of Portugal. For their culture, their history, their architecture, their inhabitants or simply to stroll, it is essential to discover them.
• Bairro Alto, is one of the most characteristic and charming neighborhoods to live in the city. Typical and popular district has many examples of modernity, with its shops ready-to-wear, design and bars. Discovering all its streets, alleys and dead ends, becomes, also, unavoidable. We discover good restaurants alongside intimate bookshops, where there is always something, tea rooms. An exciting neighborhood, full of charm, combining audacity and sophistication with tradition and history. Walking around Bairro Alto is a unique experience that will not be repeated in any other part of the city.
• Chiado, you will discover an even more sophisticated atmosphere. A meeting place for young people, artists and intellectuals, Chiado is the emblematic zone of cafés, such as "A Brasileira", schools of fine arts, theaters and history.
• Carmo, which includes several fascinating monuments that tell the story of the city, such as the Convent and the Carmo Church, which maintain their original elegance and magnificence.
• La Baixa and its irresistible Santa Justa Lift, with a particular architectonic style, designed by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel from above, has an exceptional view of the Baixa Pombalina. Discovery of the attractive Place du Rossio. (D. Pedro IV).
• Alfama, where it is still possible to discover the Roman and Arab imprint, two of the civilizations that dominated the most Lisbon. The narrow streets come from Muslim culture, guided by individualistic rules where public spaces are not very important. The narrow streets are a mark of the Koran, where little value is given to the facades, but on the contrary a much greater value is given to the interiors of the houses.
