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
Standing for “fruit fly”, this nice new kiosk lives up to its name by presenting a handful of sweet choices for a nice afternoon at the esplanade in the grand garden of Campo Mártires da Pátria, on top of the hill. A nice little corner in a peaceful garden overlooking ducks and peacocks (running freely!) that makes you forget you're in a busy intersection of the city.
