the coolest neighbourhoods in Lisbon for fun You’d be hard-pressed to find a traveller who had visited Lisbon and didn’t rate it as one of Europe’s coolest capitals. Amongst its cobblestone streets and pastel-shaded houses exists a glut of quirky neighbourhoods, squirrelled away beyond the usual tourist trail. Whether you’re looking for boutique shops or a spot for post-sunset drinks, these are the hippest districts in Lisbon.
Alfama Alfama is perhaps the most charming part of Lisbon, not to mention its oldest district. This is the place to go if you want to eat a traditional meal accompanied by equally traditional fado music. Narrow, winding medieval alleys are common all over Lisbon but nowhere more so than in Alfama, where the roads have been described as labyrinthine. If you know where you’re going, this maze leads to landmarks in other parts of the city including the Castelo de São Jorge and the beautiful lookout point at Portas do Sol.
Bairro Alto If you want to know where everyone is on Saturday night, chances are good that it’s Bairro Alto. This windy, hilly neighbourhood is filled with bars and has a bohemian vibe, making it one of the coolest places in the city. There are also restaurants, cafés, tattoo parlours and hostels in addition to the ever-present historical landmarks. It’s not just for hanging out in, either; the side streets are filled with apartments. Those who can handle the busy weekends love the central location.
Cais do Sodré Cais do Sodré is a cool neighbourhood to enjoy beer and catch up with friends. The Time Out Market, or Mercado da Ribeira, is one of the city’s main food courts that offers everything from traditional meals to trendy treats and bakeries. It is also the home of the colourful Pink Street, full of bars, restaurants and artistic personality.
Alcântara Situated between downtown and Belém, it’s a neighbourhood along the river where visitors will find Docas de Santo Amaro (a dock filled with bars and restaurants) and the Fado Museum LX Factorydevoted (a renovated factory urban buildingsong complex that’sMuseu been converted shops, Entirely to Lisbon's universe, do Fado into celebrates offices, and more).
