Due to a major fire, in 1988, the Chiado district was remodelled by Álvaro Siza Vieira, a famous Portuguese architect . Chiado has always been a place of choice for many intellectuals but today, artists of the new generation have given new life to the district. Although the traditional shops have been renovated, they still maintain their historical and cultural side.
The Bertrand Bookstore in Chiado was considered by the Guinness, in 2011, the oldest bookstore in the world still in business. Founded in 1732, is divided into several rooms with a few small areas so that visitors can sit and spend some time reading.
São Pedro de Alcântara belvedere is one of the most beautiful and well-known viewpoints in Lisbon. Located in Bairro Alto it has an outstanding view from where you can see the most important historical landmarks of the city.
Luís de Camões Square is decorated with trees and stone benches. The floor is covered with the famous Portuguese cobblestone with features alluding to the Portuguese discoveries, e.g. sea, mermaids and caravels. In the center is the statue of the poet Luís de Camões, one of the greatest figures of the Renaissance. His lyric writing took on a universal dimension through his poem “Os Lusíadas”, considered his greatest work.
One of the most picturesque districts of Lisbon where the coexistence of older and younger people originated a peculiar atmosphere. This is reflected in the local businesses: you’ll find small shops, designers’ ateliers and tattoos and piercings shops. Bairro Alto is also famous for its many restaurants, bars, and nightlife.
Classified in 2011 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, Fado (literally: “fate” or “destiny”) is more than a song, a lyric or a melody. Fado is sung solo by a ‘Fadista’ (fado singer) along with a classical guitar and a Portuguese guitar. It’s this unique combination of soulful voices and melodic guitars expressing the most profound feelings. This makes fado unique in the world and a fundamental part of the Portuguese culture.
