Area activities

Located in downtown just behind the National Theatre. An area vibrant with local. Ashort walk down the hill and you are in Rossio. On the other side of Rossio you have Chiado area. Chiado is probably the most elegant and trendiest neighborhood in Lisbon. Is also the location of some of Lisbon theatres and has always been the place to meet before heading out into Bairro Alto. There is plenty to choose with some of the best restaurants just a short walk away and also the famous Brasileira Coffee shop.
To the other side of Rossioo but also very close you have Alfama.
Alfama is the oldest district of Lisbon, spreading on the slope between the São Jorge Castle and the Tejo river. Its name comes from the Arabic Al-hamma, meaning fountains or baths. It includes the freguesias (parishes) of São Miguel, Santo Estêvão, São Vicente de Fora and part of two streets of Freguesia da Sé: Rua do Barão and Rua São João da Praça. It contains many important historical attractions, with many Fado bars and restaurants. The great 1755 Lisbon Earthquake did not destroy the Alfama, which has remained a picturesque labyrinth of narrow streets and small squares. Lately the neighbourhood has been invigorated with the renovation of the old houses and new restaurants where Fado—Portuguese typical melancholy music—can be enjoyed.
