For years the neglected child of central Lisbon, Intendente is enjoying a lively rebirth. Known for its rough edges, shady economic activities and its multicultural ambience, it's now embracing grit in a positive way. The neighborhood includes one of the city's biggest estates of late 19th century Portuguese-style architecture. Gentrification is well underway, but it is balanced with a thriving activist and cooperative scene. This unique national movement was reborn after the depression because the country's youth didn't give in under tough circumstances.
A gritty, interested place to grab a bite or mount your own bike
Counterculture and chill
A public archive on photography, hosts original daguerreotypes and century old meters of developed film. But its biggest asset is its infinite library on the matter, from books to cameras you can have access to after registration. Temporary and permanent exhibitions at the ground floor and a nice esplanade mezzanine between them, if you're just visiting.
