The famous Moorish Quarter. A short bus ride away from the apartment. Be prepared to do quite a lot of walking up and down the Alfama hill. But, worthwhile. Trust me.
Restaurants a bit overpriced. Nevertheless, an interesting selection or places to grab a bite or have a meal.

I was born in this quarter. Still my favorite one.
Nowadays, it's a must go to, to enjoy nightlife, modern and traditional restaurants, and so much more.
Avoid the Fado places...usually a rip off! But, some exceptions. Such as, A Mascote da Atalaia.
Nevertheless, always check TripAdvisor reviews.
