The Santo António neighborhood lies at the heart of Lisbon and is a popular destination for the rich and famous. So much so, that the Avenida da Liberdade area can be compared to that of Beverly Hills in LA. Tourism in Santo António is high, which has encouraged big brands to set up shop in the neighborhood.
The Príncipe Real region of Santo António is more trendy and understated but is still an expensive area to live. The diversity and vibrancy of the area have made this Lisbon neighborhood a hotspot for digital nomads and coworking spaces.

Príncipe Real: It’s very central, green and historical. I love the little parks and the botanical garden to be surrounded by nature while you’re still in the middle of the city. Everything is walkable from there. Tourists love it but it’s not too loud or crowded. The old buildings provide the neighborhood with its charm and the many restaurants give it life. - Juliane, April 2020
Principe Real: Hipster, classy & traditional - Arianna, April 2020
Principe Real! It’s a little slice of Paris in Lisbon. Tiny, quiet streets with the occasional cafe, bistro, or park thrown in for charm. Also home to the best little gelato shop and French owned bookstore in Lisboa. Good metro accessibility a walkable from the Rosalio train station. Enjoy exploring this gem of a neighborhood. It’s an expensive neighborhood to live in though. - Francine, May 2020
