Seixal is a wonderful place if you want it a bit slower but with some nice restaurant options and pretty river views from the costal promenade. There are some expats and tourists but locals do predominate. The access to Lisbon is easy via ferry and close enough to dive or take a ride-share also, if needed. By being over the bridge, all the beaches and wineries of Setubal are easily reached within 20-30 minutes. - Larry, Mar 2025
Olivais Norte is a very quiet, residential and convenient neighborhood with all types of services, metro, supermarkets, shopping centers, local markets at very affordable prices, also very green with lovely gardens, away from the crowded tourist places. Another plus is the airport at one metro station but yet, you don't hear the planes nor do you see them because it's not on the path. Basically, it has a lot to offer for much less and you get more quality of life. Finally, it's only a 10 minute walk to Oriente (Parque das Nacoes). - Sophie, Jan 2025
Parede is a very nice balance between Lisbon and Cascais. It is not as hot as Lisbon (there can be 4-8 degree Celsius difference between Lisbon and Cascais) which is really nice in hot summer days. And the train line allows you to go to either place conveniently and either way it won't feel too far. During rush hours, Parede is also pretty much the last stop you can get a seat on the train to Lisbon. The town center also has the most number and variety between Oeiras and Cascais (multiple grocery shops, all the banks, dance school, Padel court, etc.). You can take care of all your needs without leaving town. It is mostly local and so the restaurant prices are also very reasonable, with a strong community feeling. I have met quite a few young German neighbors professionals who either work remotely or near the tech parks in Oeiras here so there are definitely expat/foreigners around, but not enough to dilute the authentic Portuguese vibe (In contrast to Cascais, which is mostly families with kids or retirees) - RW, Dec 2024
What you’ve stated on this site about Ajuda lacking bus stations or good public transportation is completely inaccurate. Ajuda is very well connected to the rest of the city, and you can reach the city center, including the Cais do Sodré area, in under 30 minutes. The neighborhood also boasts pop-up cafés and creative hubs, making it ideal for expats seeking a quieter lifestyle in Lisbon—close to nature yet still within easy reach of urban amenities.The local market is a standout feature, offering a wide variety of fresh products at fair prices. Additionally, Belém, with its excellent selection of restaurants, bars, and cultural attractions, is just a 10-minute walk away.While Ajuda is home to a predominantly older population, I’ve noticed an increasing number of expat couples moving into the area, bringing a fresh and vibrant energy. - Elena, Nov 2024
Campo de Ourique is chic, quiet and many good eateries, next to shopping mall and popular district while remaining quiet. Very similar to Happy Valley in Hong Kong and its proximity to Causeway Bay. - Teresa, Jan 2023
Anjos is one of the most underrated places to live in Lisbon.It is safe, foreigner friendly and you can go pretty much everywhere by foot.There are plenty of options in terms of restaurants, brunch, co-working spaces and bars (my favourite is Amor Records).There is an alternative vibe to this neighbourhood, you can be whoever you want here and nobody will care :).There are both affordable areas (near avenida almirante reis) and more premium areas (like Bairro da Inglaterra).The neighbourhood is lacking some high quality gyms (Fitness Hut is fine but can get crowded). - Paul, Jan 2024
Ericeira is a cosy, charming and tidy fishing village so close to Lisbon that it allows one to live quietly but access the bright lights of Lisbon easily. I don’t surf but love the vibe as it is not overrun with disrespectful tourists. The surfing community is chilled and nice to have around. - Joao, June 2023
We absolutely love Marvila! We really see it as the art district of Lisbon. It's full of culture with the many many galeries, cultural centres, co-working spaces and breweries. It's still up and coming but that's what we love about it! It's still peaceful and within 15min you're in the city centre (with great public transport connection). It has a great park along the Tagus river. It's a place where you need to know where to go.. with loads of hidden gems. Big plus for us as well is that it has free parking on the street and its only a short ride to the airport. - Mischa, June 2023
Amazing place! Very green, calm and flat — hills won't bother you anymore. Plus there are a lot of great supermarkets and the public transportation is good. - Daria, May 2023
We live at the top of Belém, in the area known as Restelo. We love it up here - it’s quiet and away from the tourist hordes (we avoid the bottom of the hill in summer, but we do love the festivals in the park opposite pasteis de Belém, really it’s only July and august that is bad and the rest of the year it’s lovely). We love it up here; it’s quiet and green, lots of buses in to town and lots of amenities. We don’t seem to have many ex pats around us - mostly Portuguese people who have lived here for years, which we love. It’s not an area many people seem to know. Our favourite thing about it is that in the summer, when the city is hot, we have lots of lovely breezes from the river - Ella, January 2023
We are a UK retired couple. Moved from suburban London to Parede a few years ago. Parede is a complete Portuguese town that just happens to be on the Bay of Cascais. It’s not a tourist destination, although it has a beach and a few beachside bars and restaurants. It is well served by the Lisbon-Cascais railway and the town centre clusters around the station. In the town there are all the shops you’ll ever need for day to day life. There’s a covered market, coffee shops and restaurants, including one of the best seafood restaurants in Portugal (Eduardo’s which is quite affordable). - John, January 2023
Cacilhas enjoys the shortest ferry journey across the River Tagus from Lisbon. Boats leave Cais do Sodre terminal (co-located with the train and metro) every twenty minutes or so. The boats are crowded in rush-hour but much less so during the day. Most ferry travellers rush off to the tram or buses that serve the Setubal area. Slow down, let the crowd dissipate and take in the view back from where you just came. This a great view of Lisbon.There are restaurants and a kiosk in the immediate vicinity of the ferry terminal but you'd be well advised to take a stroll on the riverside path. It passes decrepit old warehouses that will eventually become hipster heaven. Or head inland up the hill towards Almada old town. some great restaurants and bars. Very lively after dark. Mainly locals. - John, January 2023
Parque das Nações is a thriving urban hub with its glossy skyscrapers and calming riverside views. It has incredibly clean, well-maintained streets, sidewalks, and parks. I would say it is similar to Faria Lima region in São Paulo, Brazil's flourishing financial district. - Marcela, August 2022
Nice neighborhood with smaller restaurants nearby and also many mini mercados along the street. It's also very accessible to places like Rossio, Restaudores, Marques Pombal etc. - Ulysses, August 2022
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
Walking distance to the centre, coffee shops, coworking, bars, restaurants and traditional neighbourhood feel. On 28 Tram and near Indentente metro. Lots of hills though - but worth it for the great views! - Molly, April 2021
Graça • you exercise every day cos its one of the highest parts of Lisbon • amazing park • still very authentic in restos & pastelarias • some of the best street [art] views • easy to reach with tram28 & bus • etc... - Véro, July 2021
Ajuda, for some authenticity. Close to the beaches, boat to the other side of the river - train, tram, bus to any part of the city. Next to the river and Monsanto park. - Ana, July 2021
We’re dog owners without a car and very happily living in Alvalade. Very residential, local Portuguese area that’s got easy access via transit to most parts of the city. I emphasize that it’s a local neighborhood in that we never hear English spoken here and it very much feels off the tourist path, (which we like). Just giving that disclaimer in case you preferred to be around English speakers and other expats. - Justin, October 20222
Campo do Ourique is a nice residential neighborhood. I haven't lived there, but was hanging out there every now and then. It reminds me of Neukölln in Berlin. - Alice, November 2021
I've lived in Arroios for 7 years now and I absolutely love it! The location is just ideal for me, not far from Baixa and not far from Saldanha, making the rest of the city very easy to get to. And the neighborhood is just so diverse as well. - Nite, April 2022
It’s near the beach, 10m/15m to downtown (Marquês Pombal) - by car, there are many gyms, cafes and restaurants also. Places are quiet. It also depends if you’ll be working from home or not. In Oeiras you can choose areas like: Carnaxide, Linda a Velha, Alto Santa Catarina, Queijas, Paço de Arcos, and Oeiras it self. - Tom, May 2022
I lived later in Santos/Madres area, nice local vibe, great smell of coffee being roasted on Monday and Tuesday am's. 15min walk to central, good bus routes nearby. Good run route from there down to Belem along the river. I was 'digital nomad' staying for 1 year. I'd choose different area's if I was with a partner or had kids. - Vertex, December 2020
Alfama , right next to national Pantheon, was best place I ever lived. River view, not much traffic/car noise. Only bad noise was skateboarders in summer, council cleaning up after the market on Sat & Tuesdays. All more than tolerable. Easy walk up to Graca. The view, the hills (my legs were in great shape) the swimming pool less than 30secounds from my apartment, Jardim Botto Machado nearby for morning exercise or coffee, the jog down to Praça do Comércio and back was more or less 5km, and running back up the hills of Alfama at 6am on the start of hot summers day was priceless. - Vertex, December 2020
I live in Belem and I love it. I have previously lived in Avenidas Novas (Av. Berna) and Areeiro (Av. Roma) and I must say I prefer it over here (near some of the most beautiful places/monuments of the city and near the Pasteis de Belem). I didn't like the noise of Av Berna and the area near Av. Roma was nice but the flat was not so great and quite pricy. On the negative side, here you are a bit far from the center, so it may take a bit longer to get there (I go by tram). Also, food-wise I think this is the "worse" area of Lisbon (excluding the pasteis). Even more sad, Benfica stadium is super far! On the positive side you have the riverside, pasteis de belem, the monuments and the bridge. - Ines, December 2020
The noisiest area in Lisbon. All the low flying planes take off and depart over this neighborhood. You’ll go crazy. - Gardne, December 2020
This neighbourhood, to me, has the perfect balance. It's close enough to the city's centre without being too close. Has a pleasant mix of upper middle class and younger middle class. Has a unbelievable variety of shops within walking or biking distance. Above all has a real neighbourhood atmosphere that can't be found much these days and overall has a good quality of life. The downside is the lack of parks or otherwise except for the Jardim da Parada, the lack of metro stations and some might say that the prices are above average. - Amarelo, December 2020
I live in Lumiar, near Quinta das Conchas and I really like it! It is close enough to the center of Lisbon that you can get there quite easily (plenty of bus and metro stops here) and far enough away that it isn't too expensive and too turistic minded. -
Zé, December 2020
Much more residential, but very easy to get to the center..and affordable. - Chris, April 2022
We live in Cais do Sodré slightly away the restaurant/ bar scene, where I'd say the noise level is bearable (perhaps thanks to our window being noise proofing enough) but the main issue getting on my nerve is the matter of hygiene. I cannot describe how painful I feel when I walk on the streets mounted with filthy trash in the morning, after a Tues night out. My point is, I strongly suggest look out for the hygiene in the area too when you search for a lively area to stay in Lisbon. - Lizi, April 2022
I live in Anjos and love it but it is definitely a little more local and less visitor focused if that makes sense. Everyone is super kind but there is more constantly going on for visitors elsewhere. - Sarah, April 2022
I don't like very much upper part of Ajuda (around Rua Sitio do Casalinho) because of the gypsy social neighbour nearby (Casalinho da Ajuda), they are not very friendly... I prefer Ajuda a bit lower near Belém or Restelo despite the fact it may be more expensive than the area you mentioned. - Pedro, August 2021
I loved living in Ajuda ! Although I was lower, in Rua Bica do Marques. One of my favorite neighborhoods. Very calm, small village vibes, and from my experience it was very safe. - Camile, August 2021
I live in Ajuda right by the Mercado D’Ajuda and I am a young female who lives alone. Feel SUPER safe and personally love the area!. - Monica, August 2021
Alvalade is very well connected and good secondary schools around. - Ana, November 2021
It's so many things at once depending what time of day you walk thru, so alive. - Justin, April 2020
Hi, my own one (Sao Bento). It's a lovely mix of foreigners and Portuguese. Centrally located without being in the tourist throng. - Susan, June 2020
São Bento retains the charm of the historic city centre, it's close to the action and the waterfront while offering a peaceful sanctuary away from the crowds. - Michal, August 2020
Spacious, modern, not touristy, easy access to everywhere in the city, easy access to shops and services, parks - Tom, October 2020
I’m living in Arroios for a month now and absolutely loving it. Very close to parks, supermarkets, gyms, shops and bars/restaurants. Close to the metro and a 20min walk from the city center. I’m paying low rent and next to cheap supermarkets while bordering the more expensive neighborhood with nice parks and restaurants. But as it’s the only neighborhood here I’ve lived in I have nothing to compare it with 😆 - Cédric, December 2020
Looks local but less tourists than Alfama, has a cool vibe, is still close to the centre and has cafes and coworking to work from. - Rosanna, August 2020
Graça: Looks local but less tourists than Alfama, has a cool vibe, is still close to the centre and has cafes and coworking to work from. - Rosanna, August 2020
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

Hipster, classy & traditional - Arianna, April 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

For me Alfama it's one charming, poetic and beautiful neighborhood specially in the area of the flea market and National Phanteon but everyone like diferent things. I wouldn't change for anything. - Hugo, April 2020
Mouraria: The clash of different cultures (specially non Europeans) with old and new stuff brings the neighborhood together as a really interesting place to be. - Hares, April 2020

I’m in Mouraria and I love it. It’s not far from Intendente and there are some shady looking characters around but they usually break into a large smile when you get near. But maybe not so family friendly if you have young kids. - Rosa, August 2020
Just my two cents, living in Penha de França: depending on the street, it is basically a cheaper Graça with less tourist, a less busy Arroios or as bad as Olivais. I like it here, and honestly when looking for a place to buy I made a decision that I did not want to spend what is needed to live in these other neighbourhoods. I go to Estrela for brunch. It's nice, but it got to a point that it almost feels like another city, possibly because 1/3 of the people living there now are tourists or nomads. This is totally fine, but if you want to get a taste of the more "authentic" Lisbon, I suggest to get out of the "nomad comfort zone". Maybe you'll find out that having a chat with an old and loud Portuguese lady is better than your Copenhagen cold brew. - Enrico, April 2020
I've lived in Avenidas Novas, near Gulbenkian, then I spent some time in Massamá, a few nights now and then in Alvalade and Benfica and now I live in Penha de França and it's my favourite place by far. Yes you have to walk a bit to the subway but I have so many buses right at my door that it doesn't matter. I just love how safe I feel there. Plus, I love the view. - Filipa, April 2020
It is not very near to metro statio (even if you can reach with bus or walking for 20 minutes).It is full of Portoguese people without turist. Seems to be in a little town very typical and you have all the shops that you need around you. - Daniele, April 2020
Great views but very bad public transports and not the best neighbours, not specially bad but a bit isolated at night. - Carlos, August 2020
I've been living in Penha de Franca for 6 months now and it's a really nice place where to stay in Lisbon, lovely. It's absent from tourism and it's authentic, here you've got the chance to meet the real Portuguese everyday life reality/pace (and to learn more Portuguese!). My house is somewhere near the border with the freguesia of Arroios, so the metro station wasn't that distant and in 8-10 minutes I could reach both Alameda and Arroios metro station (which helped to feel more connected to the rest of the city). Downsides, the area is quite poor and sometimes it's sad to get aware that there can be people living on the streets (even though the community around has always helped them). But except for this characteristics the area is enjoyable, with a freguesia swimming pool and a cozy and "secret" miradouro next to it (which makes you feel like it's a personal spot to enjoy a fantastic view of the city). And food. I found that the pastelarias and the little Portuguese restaurants here are the best in the city (low prices and really good quality food/people). It's a very nice neighrbourhood where to enjoy a more authentic Portuguese lifestyle, without the fuss of fancy places more tourism-oriented. Here, you can discover the real Lisbon and, with time, fall in love with it. - Salvatore, June 2022
There is dog poop everywhere in this place. You can't walk more than a few feet without finding it all over the sidewalks or grass. Don't let your children play on the grass! - Deatris, June 2022
Santa Caterina, Misericordia: Feels like a small village and has everything you need, with cheerfully painted buildings and a view of the Tagus and bridge. - Marika, July 2020
Cais do Sodré: It's picturesque, close to the Tago and with many good restaurants. - Irene, September 2020
Bica: Nice coffee shops. Good coworking spaces. Access to the river so you can go for a run easily. - Luke, September 2020
Very central to everything, lots of transport option. Great bars, restaurants and shops. - Jane, May 2020
As long time residents of San Francisco we initially became curious about Marvila after reading about Prata Riverside Village, the sprawling new mixed-use project designed by famed Italian modernist architect Renzo Piano. Then we discovered it’s beautiful and breezy location on the Tagus waterfront, the new green space and bike lanes that lead both north and south along the river, and the walking distance rooftop craft breweries, small family owned restaurants and quirky galleries and shops. In less than 30 minutes I can ride my bike into central Lisbon, or get in the car and in about 30 minutes be at the pristine Atlantic Ocean beaches. Marvila may have been discovered by the media and urban pioneers, but it’s still very much a work in progress - authentically gritty with many decaying factories, warehouses and houses. In five or ten years, Marvila will likely be unrecognizable, for better or worse. - Jon, August 2021
It’s a cool area for the art scene 😉 - Carlos, November 2020
I lived in Lumiar, in Sta Clara. That is a nice place, Bairro da Cruz vermelha is NOT. Its a slumber with a lot of drug dealers and nasty people. Quinta das conchas is ok but on the lower part near center of Lumiar. Sacavém is awfull also. - Filipe, November 2016
Lumiar is a bit outside the city center as well but you have the metro and near by Quinta das conchas which its park! Apartments there are more recent so better and bigger. - Rubens, April 2022
Santos: After a few intensive days looking for apartments a few years ago, Santos became the obvious choice. Not too touristy (like Chiado), everyone speaks English, friendly people, lots of cozy places, and the area is always evolving to the better. Walking distance to almost everything of interest in town. Not too much traffic around. Some of Lisbons best cafes and restaurants are in this area too, so you rarely have to walk more than a few minutes to find great options. - Markus, November 2020
Charming, beautiful, calm (but not boring), has great infrastructure (public transport, parking places, banks, shopping, medicine, sports, great restaurants, park). It is close enough to down town to go there by foot, but has enough distance from (stupid) mass tourism. Hotels and airbnbs are very discreet and normally not disturbing locals. Great local (portuguese and international) community. One of the few (2-3) areas in Lisbon, where quality life with kids is possible without being in suburbia kind of situation. - Anastasia, October 2020
The neighborhood is close to the important things in the centre (10-15 min walk) but feels cozier and less touristy. There are lots of families and friendly people, and Estrela Park is a highlight. There are also many markets close by. - Therese, June 2020
São Bento retains the charm of the historic city centre, it's close to the action and the waterfront while offering a peaceful sanctuary away from the crowds. - Michal, August 2020
Hi, my own one (Sao Bento). It's a lovely mix of foreigners and Portuguese. Centrally located without being in the tourist throng. - Susan, June 2020
Estrela. I love how close it is to many of my favorite cafes, restaurants, and miradouros, but still quite calm and quiet and near to the park. - Timea, August 2020
Santos: An eclectic mix of historic and modern, a fantastic community and possibly the best integration of expats and locals in lisbon. - Rishav, May 2020
Close to the centre, yet quiet and not full of tourists, Ideal for families, beautiful park. - Martin, September 2021
A peaceful, colourful neighbourhood full of independent shops and restaurants, close to the city centre without the noise and inconvenience of living there. Oh and Jardim de Estrela is fantastic too. It’s calmness and beauty, and feeling as if you are in a bubble. I could quite happily never leave this neighbourhood. - Mairea, April 2020
If you’re looking for a cool new area to go to that’s still within the Lisbon concelho, then I’d highly recommend the neighbourhood of Carnide! The buildings are so beautiful there and the food is really amazing. - Julian, May 2020
Campolide has a weekly farmers market every Tuesday, a very active young Freguesia President, a very very family-friendly vibe, and almost no tourists. - Maria, May 2022
Isn’t so “remote” to the city center. You can walk to Baixa (Rossio) 🤷🏻♀️You forgot to mention Jardim da Amnistia Internacional and Parque Florestal de Monsanto.👌👌And close to Campolide Jardim Fundacao Calouste Gulbenkian and Jarfim Praça de Espanha 👌 - Helena Maria, May 2022
Proximity to a huge park, more modern buildings with some older ones as well. Well connected via metro. But not a “sexy” or charming neighborhood. A lack of huge touristy things which makes it a calmer place to live. Good bike lanes. - Thomas, June 2022
Campo de Ourique feels like a true Portuguese neighborhood. There are families, young people, local shops, and nice public spaces all while not feeling too 'residencial'. - Simon, November 2020
I would say Campo de Ourique. The place is quite calm, far from the fuss of the city. Plenty of good options for food and coffee. Calm lifestyle. - Eva, April 2020
There is a lot of traditional shops of high quality, several services walking distance, top restaurants and green spaces. - Vanessa, April 2020
Easy to walk (less cars, noise), beautiful architecture, good food options. Campo de Ourique the parks just upped my quality of life 10x. - Kris, April 2020
The Best neighbourhoods in Lisbon. there are many traditional shops, restaurants and markets. Very local area. Its very local area. Near the city centre and with a lot of good restaurants and markets (like Campo de Ourique Market). - Paula, April 2020
It felt very local, but still very close to downtown. Also not that many hills in that area. - Atli, April 2020
Very local neighborhood, lot’s of restaurants and services available, public transportation is good, eg. train ride from Benfica to downtown Rossio is 5-10min. Biggest green area in the city (Monsanto) is in this district. Reasonable real estate prices compared with downtown. - Juan, May 2022
A short walk to the river. Easy access to downtown by train, bus or tram. The touristic area next to the Jerónimos Monastery can get very crowded on weekends and holidays, but the rest of Belém is very quiet. The parks are also great! - Simone, August 2021
Infra-wise it’s severely underdeveloped, but for having lived there a couple months, I just felt something good is happening in some areas down there, cool artsy vibe and industrial lofts. - Rose, September 2020
Avenida Novas is wonderful. Very central, easy access to everything, tree lined streets, small neighborhood shops and restaurants. In the heart of the city but not over run by tourists or noisy like other central areas. Quiet but central. - Nic, April 2020
Picoas: close to the city center, very quiet, close to everything needed, fancy neighbourhood - Carlotta, May 2021
Saldanha: Spacious, modern, not touristy, easy access to everywhere in the city, easy access to shops and services, parks - Tom, October 2020
Close to the centre, good connections with public transportation, great nightlife options (casa, crew hassan, bus,...). At some points can be a bit dodgy though but I wasnt bothered by that.- Ines, February 2020
Flat terrain, lovely neighbors and shopkeepers, easy access to public transport, not a tourist area - Sarah, April 2020
Estefania: Not touristic. Walking distance (10min) to all metro lines. Multiple food courts, supermarkets and other amenities in the neighborhood. A few min walking away from parque Eduardo 7, which is an amazing and peaceful spot to chill. - Maxime, April 2020
Around Campo Mártires da Pátria, between avenida da liberdade and avenida almirante reis: It's near the trendy Intendente neighborhood (and the yummy Indian and asian restaurants), but also the city center and Chiado/principe real. It's quiet with a nice park. It's close to Marques de Pombal to take the highway toward caparica for surfing sessions! - Laurent, April 2020
Anjos area: I’m living in Arroios for a month now and absolutely loving it. Very close to parks, supermarkets, gyms, shops and bars/restaurants. Close to the metro and a 20min walk from the city center. I’m paying low rent and next to cheap supermarkets while bordering the more expensive neighborhood with nice parks and restaurants. But as it’s the only neighborhood here I’ve lived in I have nothing to compare it with 😆 - Cédric, December 2020
Hello, i live there it is nice but very noisy and very busy so visit the flat before renting it to make sure you are in a quiet street (above all of you work from home) - Florever, 2021
If you wanna a good coffee look for How about Coffee. Pizza place Margaritas in Mercado de arroios - Tiago, May 2021
