Bairro Alto is an old, bohemian and picturesque neighborhood in the center of Lisbon, with narrow cobbled streets, centuries-old houses, small traditional shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife spots.
Typically a quiet and traditional neighborhood during the day, transforming itself at nightfall as the hip place for nightlife and a meeting point for different cultures and generations, including Erasmus students.
Most building have been or are being recovered, keeping their original design, attracting new and alternative commercial spaces, vintage, multi-brand and reference stores, as well as galleries and ateliers, including tattoo and piercing stores.
