Very disappointing. Don't know whether it's because of Covington or the month of October and lack of tourists but the area was DEAD. Only few bars/restaurants open, no sign of fados nor any kind of music. The area looked shabby & expensive.

best place to travel around the the place because it is oldest and at night time its beautiful to move around so many bar and restaurant.love to come back again.

A beautiful neighborhood in Lisbon, feels like a time warp to a certain degree, small streets and alleys, very cozy and picturesque. lots of up and downs in terms of hills but absolutely worth it. Also great views of the city.

Great neighborhood to stay! We had our Lisbon apartment in this zone and enjoyed the neighborhood a lot... very centric, cool spots for food and drinks as well as nice shops... walking distance to the city or tram 28 always handy

Enjoyed walking through the many streets and just absorbing the sights, sounds of the neighborhood. Wear comfortable shoes, not flip flops as the roads are cobbled and can get a little slippery when walking downhill. You will do A LOT of walking in Lisbon, so this is important to mention.

Alto is a vibrant maze of narrow roads weaving up and down the hills of the Barrio. In the evening it comes alive with street bars and restaurants, wander around and stop off when you see a place you like. Also a lot of street art to enjoy if you take your time and keep your eyes up and wide open! Be prepared to walk up and down steep hills, those with mobility issues may struggle.
