Nuno’s Guide to Lisbon: Neighbourhoods
Marvila
Once an industrial hub, Marvila has transformed into a vibrant enclave of creativity. This revitalized neighbourhood is buzzing with energy, thanks to a wave of young entrepreneurs and artists who have made it their home. Expect to find trendy coffee houses, cutting-edge galleries, and striking street art around every corner. It’s no surprise that Marvila is where Nuno sets up base whenever he’s in town.
Estefânia
Tucked away and often overlooked, Estefânia is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With its grand old houses and charming streets, this neighbourhood retains the essence of traditional Portuguese life while quietly embracing a modern edge. Trendy spots like Tati Wine Bar add a touch of contemporary flair, making Estefânia both nostalgic and effortlessly cool.
Cais do Sodré & Alcântara
These neighbourhoods are at the heart of Lisbon’s urban renaissance, thanks in part to the iconic LX Factory and Time Out Market. Both destinations have played a crucial role in reinvigorating the area and boosting Lisbon’s appeal to visitors and locals alike. While the neighbourhoods have evolved significantly since these markets first opened, the spirit of creativity and innovation continues to thrive.
