🇵🇹 Where to live in Lisbon

Lisbon's residential areas split roughly between the old hillside parishes near the river, the central avenues, the planned northern districts, and the redeveloped riverside east. The historic core mixes homes with monuments, nightlife and heavy visitor traffic, while districts like Alvalade, Lumiar and Carnide are quieter and more conventionally residential. The eastern riverfront, including Parque das Nações, Marvila and Beato, is newer in feel, built on Expo grounds and former industrial land.
