Slow mornings, long lunches, sunset rooftop drinks. Young, creative and increasingly international. Every other person in Time Out Market is a remote worker or a multilingual agent.
Multilingual hubs around Parque das Nações and Marquês de Pombal. Big French, German, Italian and Nordic communities. Cost of living is materially lower than most of Western Europe.
Four metro lines, iconic yellow trams (the 28 is a postcard), buses, ferries across the Tejo, and the Navegante monthly pass is just €40 covering metro + bus + train across all of Lisbon.
Bairro Alto for bar-crawling tiny streets, Cais do Sodré (Pink Street) for clubs, LX Factory for cool industrial bars, and rooftops at Park Bar or Topo. Things start late. Pre-drinks at 11pm is normal.
Cervejaria Ramiro for seafood, Time Out Market for variety, Belcanto (Michelin) for special nights. Pastéis de Belém for the original custard tart, and a tasca on every corner serving €8 lunch menus.
Surf at Costa da Caparica or Carcavelos, hike Sintra, sunset at Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, football at Estádio da Luz (Benfica) or José Alvalade (Sporting). Beach is on the metro line.
