You definitely shouldn’t miss these neighbourhoods if you want to mingle with the locals, who frequent the many restaurants and bars there.
If you’re a food lover, this is the place for you. The Cais do Sodré neighbourhood offers a wide variety of places to eat, partly thanks to the Mercado da Ribeira: Lisbon’s largest covered market. The many charming cafés and bars make the neighbourhood a very lively place in the evening; Pink Street is known as Lisbon’s premier nightlife street. Some of these spots along the River Tagus have an added bonus: the beautiful views. Ribeira das Naus is a lovely place to take a stroll along the water’s edge. Be sure to visit the designer neighbourhood of Santos, which is very popular with expats due to its central location and beautiful, tall buildings.
