These districts are some of the friendliest and oldest parts of Lisbon. Some of the houses are superb. Markets often take place in the winding streets which contain small cafes and shops. Avoid the Lapa district after dark though.
A 20-25 minute walk to the west of the Praca de Comercio, or there are plenty of trams from here to Estrela and Chiado if you don't want to walk.
Updates
There's nothing to avoid in Lapa district at night, it is one of the poshest neighbourhoods. Still, residential as it is, nothing much happens at night.
