Alcântara
Former warehouses, port infrastructure and hillside housing give the area an unusually layered urban fabric. The lower riverside zone retains an industrial scale, while steep, irregular streets above reveal an older pattern of apartment buildings and neighbourhood streets.
Stands out
- Smaller population than most Lisbon areas stands out.
Who it's for
- You prefer a smaller-scale neighbourhood with fewer people.
Think twice if
- You depend on the metro for daily commuting.
