Bica is one of Lisbon's most typical areas. Rua da Bica itself is a really steep, narrow road that connects the street-party hot-spot Bairro Alto or down to the more bohemian Cais do Sodré. If you want to experience some old-school Lisbon and enjoy that feeling of walking through postcards, this is the neighbourhood for you. The trams going up and down Bica make it an obligatory stop for tourists during the day. But it's also quickly becoming a trendy, hip street to have a drink on the streets at night. The tiny bars have a great vibe and people gather in the hundreds to have a drink out on the steps. Getting up and down Bica is easy if you take the so-called elevator (it's sort of like a tram). After that, you'll find most transportation around the area to be from Cais Do Sodré - there you'll find Green Line metro, 3 or 4 tram lines and over a dozen different buses.
