The Bairro Alto spreads to the west of the city of Lisbon. This is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city. It is full of narrow alleys, houses of the seventeenth century, taverns, restaurants and shops. This area has been transformed due to the large influx of tourists, especially at night because it has a lot of typical Portuguese bars and restaurants. To arrive there take the funicular that goes to Gloria and have a short walk from the Restauradores Square. The small white and yellow wagon climbs to reach the terrace of San Pedro de Alcántara, a beautiful viewpoint.
