Lisbon's comeback neighborhood
Food adventurers, urban explorers, travelers who like grit with their culture
You want traditional sights (head to Alfama or Belém)
Intendente doesn't have a castle or a monastery. What it has is a story — ten years ago, guidebooks warned tourists to avoid this neighborhood. Today, it's one of Lisbon's most exciting places to eat, drink, and watch a city reinvent itself. Cervejaria Ramiro serves the best seafood in Lisbon. The Viúva Lamego ceramic factory has one of the city's most stunning tiled facades. And the energy on Largo do Intendente on a warm evening — locals, students, families, artists — feels like the future of Lisbon.
