The neighborhood of São Vicente sits high above rooftops with fantastic lookouts over Lisbon. The area is peppered with tradition, from famous Portuguese tiles to rugged cobblestone streets. The neighborhood is very quaint, which has put São Vicente on the tourist map.
This has lead to the development of commercialism and restaurants in this neighborhood. Due to its undulating landscape, getting around by bicycle might not be your best option here. Thankfully, public transportation in São Vicente is equipped with a train station, and access to the blue metro line.
