A neighborhood of Lisbon that dates back to the 1700's. Very lively at night with shops and restaurants open. This is also where you find Livraria Bertrand and Café A Brasileira.

We stayed at the periphery of the Chiado district and enjoyed walking around the narrow streets and the shopping streets. Lots of stores, including high end ones, bars and restaurants, antique stores, book stores and second hand book stores. There is an upscale shopping center - Amazens Chiado - with about 50 shops and a large FNAC store, the Santa Justa lift. Praca do Comercio is on the southern side. Two of the best if not THE best restaurants of Lisbon - Alma and Belcanto - are also in this area.

This section of Lisbon seemed pretty upscale, with lots of restaurants, cafes, and shopping. It seems pretty modern relative to other areas of Lisbon we saw. It has a multistory shopping mall. It's a nice place to walk around. We ate dinner at one of the restaurants. The Carmo Convent and Santa Justa Lift overlook the area, and the Praca do Comercio is on the southern side.

There are bad smelling buskers here. There are people on high. The things that are contraband in other countries are consumed by so many people in this square.

Chiado is an area situated on a hill overlooking the lower town, to the west of Baixa. The name Chiado comes from the small square Largo do Chiado. Chiado is an important cultural and commercial district, known for its luxury shopping, historic landmarks, and its numerous theatres and museums. The present shape of the district and the multitude of impressive religious buildings are the result of Ferdinand I's decision in the 14th century. There are two interesting baroque churches in the area, Igreja do Loreto and Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Encarnacao and the ruins of the Igreja do Carmo church that was destroyed in the earthquake. The walls of the building have survived, but the entire roof has collapsed. Inside there is an archaeological museum. Of course, a must-see is Cafe A Brasileira, one of the oldest cafes, which in the past century was a meeting place for intellectuals, artists, writers and free thinkers. This is a must-see area of ​​the city while in Lisbon.

This is regarded as one of the hippest or trendiest parts of town, although I am not quite sure what means! All I do know is that it is a great area for wandering around, soaking up the atmosphere and people and window watching.

Há perigo em andar à noite no centro? Vou ficar em um hotel na Praça dos Restauradores.

Boa noite, amigo. Mais tranquilo impossÃvel. Adoro andar a noite em todas as cidades que visito. Lisboa andei em todos os cantos de madrugada. Fui a Alfama, Chiado, Bairro Alto... Tudo hiper tranquilo. Pela madrugada,costumam lavar as ruas. Ja fui 2 vezes e fiz o mesmo roteiro, muito tranquilo.

What app should i use for where locals eat

Rua da Bica area has a lot of great local food restaurants and towards Calcade do Combro street top of Bica street to the West, restaurants both sides of the street are full with locals has best kitchen and price. The latter do not expect to be able to pay with credit card. Prefer cash as price is much lower and sometimes no pin transaction possible. Pay with smaller bills than €50,-
-
You see many local senior citizens occupy the place for menu del dia from €3,50 a platter. Day menu and a pint for €1,20 or less.
-
Also the cafés and bars in this area more for locals. Side streets and alleys are badly lit and is mainly your ‘not for tourists’ hint.
-
Making an effort speaking the language is appreciated. You will be addressed in Portuguese.

I'm not aware of such app that only shows where locals eat, however, one that the locals do use is Zomato . PT
This shows a range of restaurantes to eat from and as a guide, look at the reviews in Portuguese and then translate them

Olá,
Mesmo aos Domingos deverá haver restaurantes abertos na zona do Chiado. Creio que uma boa escolha seria visitar o topo do Elevador de Santa Justa e os cafés/restaurantes com vista para a cidade. Boa estadia.

Yes they are, however like everywhere in the world "influenced by fast food chains" with a bit of local taste. as Portuguese i suggest you to go to Terreiro do Paço or Alfama areas to really enjoy Portuguese culture.

If you are traveling with two or more together than taking taxi is easier and convenient and sometimes cheaper than metro. One time metro cost is 1.40 euros per person and min taxi charge is 3.25 euros.

Not very far but Lisbon is hilly and can be confusing with its narrow and curb streets. Better for the first time, take a taxi and avoid buses.
