Reviews

It's where I live :) I love it because it has a perfect mix of local & foreign, traditional & trendy, there's space (streets are larger than other neighborhoods), it has beautiful views to the bridge and you can reach the river in less than 10min walking. It's also perfect for commuting to other areas of Lisbon avoiding the traffic, either by car through Monsanto (North, Cascais) or to the city center (5min with my scooter or less than 5€ by Uber). It is also very gardened, which I appreciate. Finally, I have some nice friends living close by :) - Inês, April 2020

It has a local as well as an international vibe, many good specialty shops and restaurants, great links to the rest of the city (sadly no metro, but lots of trains and buses), and it's close to Lisbon's largest park. All this without being touristy. Oh, and the views of the 25th of April bridge are amazing, especially on foggy winter days! - Marek, April 2020

The best area in Alcântara district is Alto de Santo Amaro. Here you have the real neighbourhood feeling. Everyone knows each other. You have everything that you need: banks, pharmacies, schools, restaurants, fish shops, butchers, croissinteries, sightseeing spots, gardens, cultural events.You are 3 minutes walking from the river and 5 minutes by car from the highway and from the bridge. - João, April 2020
