Description:

Cafés, nightlife, and shops combine with museums to make Bairro Alto and Chiado two of the liveliest neighborhoods in Lisbon. Your talking GoCar provides entertaining and illuminating commentary as you cruise this neighborhood in search of adventure.

Start your GoCar journey with an exploration of Fado, a musical genre unique to Portugal. The Bairro Alto neighborhood is home to many clubs where Fado continues to thrive alongside newer trends in music. The Amalia Rodrigues House stands as memorial and shrine to the Queen of Fado. Paintings, musical instruments, awards, and costumes are arranged to represent the life and times of this extraordinary woman.

Your GoCar navigates the streets of this eclectic area, providing the structure of a formal tour with the flexibility of creating your own itinerary. The Sao Roque Church is worth a visit despite its plain façade because the interior is bathed in gold, silver, and detailed mosaics. Complete your trip with a drive through the peaceful botanical gardens. The 10-acre (4-ha) grounds, established in the 1800’s, contain more than 18,000 species of plants.
