Lost in Lisbon

From sunset views to croissants and wineries—discover the charms of Portugal's vibrant capital like a local

BAIRRO ALTO HOTEL

To enjoy spectacular views of the sun setting over Lisbon and the Tagus river, enjoy cocktails on the terrace bar of the Bairro Alto Hotel. Lisbon’s oldest five-star boutique hotel is located in the buzzing Chiado area, the city’s bohemian neighbourhood known for its nightlife. At the BAHR restaurant on the fifth floor, indulge in the best of Portuguese cuisine or sit back and enjoy a drink while soaking in the views. While they have a great wine menu, their bartenders will happily mix you your favourite cocktail too. Try the crab cracker and the smoked barnacles on toast as starters, and the Portuguese carabineiro prawn rice as a main. While booking a table is always recommended, they welcome walk-ins.
