Marble counters, Portuguese tiles and snacks that crossed the century — on foot, in about two hours.
The listed corner bars keep part of the city history at the counter: marble, Portuguese tiles and a menu that has barely changed in decades.
How to do the route
- Start downtown in the late afternoon, when the counters fill up.
- Walk on to Lapa: it is about fifteen minutes.
- Check each venue opening hours on its page.
