We have been living in Principe Real for over a year now. We managed to get a crazy good price as we rented at the peak of covid. Otherwise its super expensive. This area is very central with lots of nice bars and restaurants, but bear in mind there isnt a lot of “residential facilities”, eg, a decently sized supermarkets arent close (this will ofc depend where you find a place). Also, not necessarily quiet at all. We live close to the park and its so loud in the evenings especially since the pandemic subsided a bit.. also coz there’s a lot of tourists in the area its so busy both in terms of pedestrians but also cars. Its a hip place to be, but id reconsider the area if you want something calmer and more residentially suitable. - Sonja, August 2022

Principe Real is very nice and you would love it if and only if you have the capacity to afford a new building meaning great construction, sound proof, AC and heater, something you can find in a condominium type of setting. I know at least 3 between principe real and Bairro alto and it’s amazing. Some even have a pool inside, beautiful gardens, you absolutely don’t hear any noise coming from the streets, they are like sanctuaries. If you can afford it, go get that great lifestyle and enjoy it!! - Hinde, August 2022

It’s very central, green and historical. I love the little parks and the botanical garden to be surrounded by nature while you’re still in the middle of the city. Everything is walkable from there. Tourists love it but it’s not too loud or crowded. The old buildings provide the neighborhood with its charm and the many restaurants give it life. - Juliane, May 2020

Principe Real! It’s a little slice of Paris in Lisbon. Tiny, quiet streets with the occasional cafe, bistro, or park thrown in for charm. Also home to the best little gelato shop and French owned bookstore in Lisboa. Good metro accessibility a walkable from the Rosalio train station. Enjoy exploring this gem of a neighborhood. It’s an expensive neighborhood to live in though. - Francine, May 2020
