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
The nightlife epicenter of the neighborhood, quickly became an institution and single handedly made Intendente a new district for going out. It's host to the the coolest music happening in the city, great at confirming emerging talent and one of the main supporters of the so-called Lisbon Zouk Bass or our new generation of psychedelic/surf rockers. And when the locals aren't available they go far at booking the best from overseas.
