This is a great neighborhood in the city with many restaurants, cafes, bars and pastries to explore. We arrived by cruise ship and got a Metro day pass right away and headed up to Martim Moniz to catch the #28 Tram that runs through all the neighborhoods. It saved a lot of uphill climbing and allowed us to see so much of the city in just one day.

Vibe is the word. I loved the many up hill and down hill streets. For the most part horizontal and vertical. At times a maze to navigate filled with shops, restaurants, souvenir shops and bars that cater for all interests. The atmosphere felt friendly and safe, especially at night. It was so much fun to wander the narrow cobbled avenues and find places to eat and drink at every corner. No hard sell and no intimidation. Some fun street acts at times and sellers. The whole area is a magnet for a good time. Don’t miss this area.

I did a long walk through this area on a rainy day, ducked into a nice cafe for some coffee. Lots of history here, narrow streets lined with bars and restaurants, especially bars. Good place to find somewhere where Fado is sung. Narrow houses where the real people used to live, now full of tourists. Worth a long exploration.

Bairro Alto is an iconic Lisbon neighborhood with lots of winding cobbled streets, viewpoints over the city, vibrant street life, and lovely places to stay. We rented an air b'n'b (never understood that term - what's the air a reference to and where's the breakfast?) There are main streets that connect you to the commercial areas and it's very close to the city centre. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

I was a bit taken back from my experience in Lisbon. I didn’t find it very friendly, and the constant warning about pick pockets. Clean but a foul smell on our first two days probably the weather and some people said there is a paper factory and maybe that’s were the smell comes from. Lots of restaurants, It’s incredible and if you like seafood definitely it’s a must. Place its definitely beautiful but many attractions are completely let go The cobblestone are all messed up so be careful in my group everyone slipped and fell. Wear good comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk or climb because it’s the best way to savor the city I wish other countries would help restore so much beauty and bring it back to its full galore. Definitely a must see

My three teens and I rented an Air BnB for a week in the Bairro Alto neighborhood. It was great location and I think we picked a perfect location. It’s walkable to many restaurants, sights, shops, and other Lisbon neighborhoods. Bairro Alto has a lot to offer and is a typical Lisbon neighborhood with cobblestone streets and hills, Portuguese cafes and restaurants mixed with American-style places.

We really loved exploring Lisbon’s Old Town. The architecture and public art forms (old and new) are striking and make you feel like you’re walking through an outdoor art gallery. Public transport is abundant and cabs are reasonably priced, so no excuse in not getting out there to enjoy as much of it as you have time for.

Don't queue for hours for a tram or tourist bus! Get out on foot and see Lisbon. The Metro is easy to navigate and ticket machines have English instructions. Second tip get out early for the main sites like the St George Castle which is a great walk up from Rossio. Bairo Alto won't disappoint for a classic insight into this wonderful old city. Again best seen on foot.

The joint was jumping on St Patrick’s night. Despite that, the staff really looked after us two oldies, first providing a seat, then grabbing us a table as soon as vacated. Only downside, they haven’t yet caught up with Guinness 0.0%.

One of the areas you want to visit. Maybe approach the area from the side (walk to it from a different area to get to the top), then walk down hill to visit/see this area. Walking straight up this area, seems very steep. Your reward is Time Out Market is at the bottom of the hill.
