Ashey Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 BWFC states that this is the area where there are lots of bars and restaurants - posted on the official site so I presume there will be a large presence of bolton there. Is this the main drinking area in Lisbon? NB, unsure whether this has been posted elsewhere, just couldnt see any topics for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a small place, you will be able to hear a large presense. At night though, Biarro Alto is categorically the place to be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss_tony Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 According to my Time Out guide - "Most of the cafes that the nervous dictator Salazar had earlier ordrered to ban - have dissapeared". So if Time out is correct I'd say no. I get the impression from the guide that the Bairro Alto and the Waterfront are the areas for the bars.

Not been to the waterfront but that's where the clubs are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I was sloshed by then but I got the impression that as it's residential that it wound down then? It looks that way, but all those little stores turn into cafe bars late on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted March 9, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2008 It looks that way, but all those little stores turn into cafe bars late on! They do, but they shut at 12ish and it moves over to the waterfront. It'll be quite on a Wednesday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Avenida 24 de Julho and Docas will the places to be after dark. Av 24 de Julho is the road that runs along the waterfront and Docas is by the marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Rossio has a lrge square which will, no doubt be a focal point during the day and it's only 300yds from our hotel: so this time it's not going to cost me a fortune in taxis, like Madrid!

Rossio is close to where we are staying, also theres a nice fountain in that square which would look nice with a lbit of foam mixed with it. There are [plenty of bars and restaurants in that area. Its 7 kilometres to the stadium from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
