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
Situated at Taberna das Almas (Tavern of Souls) and happening once a month, Feira das Almas is one of the epicenters of the cultural rebirth of the neighborhood. A place for independent creators to show and sell their stuff, it's also a nice excuse to a weekend of dj's, food and drinks amidst Lisbon's proto-Williamsburg folks.
