A bit of history
Lisbon's Bairro Alto district emerged in the 16th century as a residential area for the upper class, later evolving into a bohemian hub. Bica, with its famous funicular, and Cais do Sodré, a former port area, have long been centers of commerce and entertainment. The tour reflects this layered history through its food stops.
