THIS GUIDE BRINGS TAKES YOU THROUGH the best LISBON NEIGHBOURHOODS
Lisbon doesn’t need any tourist attractions, museums or anything. Just discovering the city and strolling through the best Lisbon neighbourhoods already show the beauty of the city.
After living there for 3 months and trying to discover as much as possible, I will share the best Lisbon neighbourhoods including some highlights! I have to admit, they cover a whole bit of Lisbon, but it gives a great overview and might help to cut your city trip into smaller chunks.
1. BICA
2. MOURARIA
Mouraria is rawer than other neighborhoods and has lots to offer. I did a free walking tour through Mouraria and Alfama and would definitely recommend doing that, as it learns you more about its history and takes you through many small alleys. One thing is sure, they both deserve a place in the list of best Lisbon neighbourhoods. Also, don’t forget to check out the nearby neighbourhood Intendente with a square with some nice restaurants and bars and the rooftop bar Topo located at the square Martim Moniz.
3. PRINCIPE REAL
4. ALFAMA
5. LX FACTORY
It is not a real neighbourhood, but as it gives you shops, culture, food and drinks, it could be one and therefore deserves a place amoung the best Lisbon neighbourhoods. When you like trendy and raw places, it should definitely be on your list to visit. Don’t expect a hidden gem though, as it became a famous tourist attraction. It is home to the best chocolate cake in the world (Landeau) and a library where you definitely want to shoot a picture (Ler Devagar). Visit the rooftop bar Rio Marhavilha for a view over the bridge including a colorful statue and visit A MESA for a great pizza.
