Districts
Lisbon is defined by its distinctive neighbourhoods. They have been shaped, either through design or evolving with the passage of time. The Alfama still maintains it's original street layout from Moorish times, it's narrow alleys echoing the soulful laments of Fado music. The Bairro Alto comes alive at night when the streets take on a carnival atmosphere and revellers party into the early hours. The plush Baixa district, or downtown, is an 18th century reconstruction of the city following the devastating earthquake of 1755. Its smart streets and squares are built on a grid system. It is where you'll find many boutique shops, top hotels and the start/endpoints for many of the city's trams.
A short distance away is the district of Belém which is home to the impressive Mosteiro dos Jerónimos monastery and other iconic monuments dedicated to Portugal's great age of discovery. To the north is the district of Parque das Nações. Once the site of Expo 97. The architecture takes on a more contemporary appearance, each with a nautical theme.
