I moved here in 2021 with one backpack and a plan to stay for three weeks, which turned into three amazing years. Each year I have discovered Lisbon from a new perspective and meet people from various backgrounds who shape this town. And I eventually became one of them.
Keep an eye on the posters around town so you don’t miss the next one, as tickets to those usually sell out pretty quickly.
There, you may find yourself having a business meeting among a variety of art objects, surrounded by graffiti and paintings. It’s an unusual location, which inspires artists and photographers who often come here. At the end of the day, I recommend checking out the rooftop.
These restaurants are very popular among those who live and work in the area. I think it’s because the food is made with love. One more must-visit restaurant in the area is Duro de Matar. It serves its visitors not only tasty Mexican food, but solid DJ sets and vibes.
There’s a certain magic in utilising the same spaces for work where your grandparents could have worked in the past. Even today, one may find old machinery in the buildings of Beato, where the past meets the future, creating a unique mix of history and global innovation.
Nevertheless, for those who will eventually get there, it offers the charm of old factories and fascination with its modern architectural projects. The dazzling water view on a commercial port at the sunrise and sunset sets this location apart from any other in town.
