On this side of Lisbon, the terrain flattens out, which makes Campo de Ourique a pleasant neighborhood to navigate by foot or bicycle. Sadly, this flatness presented a prime location for Lisbon airport. Planes pass overhead at regular intervals.
Campo de Ourique is a calm neighborhood, with a sometimes jarring architectural juxtaposition. One major benefit of this neighbourhood is the bus service which takes you directly from central Lisbon to the stunning Costa da Caparica. Unfortunately, other transport routes out of Campo de Ourique are limited. With no train stations or metro access.

Campo de Ourique is chic, quiet and many good eateries, next to shopping mall and popular district while remaining quiet. Very similar to Happy Valley in Hong Kong and its proximity to Causeway Bay. - Teresa, Jan 2023
Campo do Ourique is a nice residential neighborhood. I haven't lived there, but was hanging out there every now and then. It reminds me of Neukölln in Berlin. - Alice, November 2021
This neighbourhood, to me, has the perfect balance. It's close enough to the city's centre without being too close. Has a pleasant mix of upper middle class and younger middle class. Has a unbelievable variety of shops within walking or biking distance. Above all has a real neighbourhood atmosphere that can't be found much these days and overall has a good quality of life. The downside is the lack of parks or otherwise except for the Jardim da Parada, the lack of metro stations and some might say that the prices are above average. - Amarelo, December 2020
Campo de Ourique feels like a true Portuguese neighborhood. There are families, young people, local shops, and nice public spaces all while not feeling too 'residencial'. - Simon, November 2020
I would say Campo de Ourique. The place is quite calm, far from the fuss of the city. Plenty of good options for food and coffee. Calm lifestyle. - Eva, April 2020
There is a lot of traditional shops of high quality, several services walking distance, top restaurants and green spaces. - Vanessa, April 2020
Easy to walk (less cars, noise), beautiful architecture, good food options. Campo de Ourique the parks just upped my quality of life 10x. - Kris, April 2020
