Walking loops in Bairro Alto, Lisbon

By day, Bairro Alto is laundry and silence — shuttered bars, empty streets, a neighborhood sleeping off the night before. By evening, the shutters open and the narrow grid fills with noise: music from every doorway, conversations spilling between tables that barely fit on the sidewalks, graffiti that ranges from political to purely aesthetic. The transition happens fast, around nine PM, like someone flipped a switch. The buildings are old, the crowd is young, and the wine is cheap enough that nobody counts glasses.
