New construction in the heart of the City

This quaint medieval district (once the Moorish and Jewish quarter before it became a fishing community) is the second oldest neighborhood in Europe. It's like a small village. Wander aimlessly through its "becos" (alleys) and "largos" (small squares), allowing your senses to be the guides. You'll see magnificent river views and laundry out to dry from balconies, smell fish being grilled in a corner, hear the sounds of Fado coming out of a restaurant, taste authentic traditional meals, and touch some dazzling tilework. This is Lisbon at its most picturesque and the very soul of the city. Life here continues much as it has for centuries, but walk down towards the waterfront and you're once again in modern times: old warehouses have been renovated and turned into some of the city's coolest hotspots, for dinner, drinks and dancing until sunrise.
