A cool neighbourhood is a neighbourhood with a ‘world’ in it

In 2018, Time Out magazine considered Príncipe Real the fifth coolest neighbourhood in the world. According to the publication, which compiled a list of 50 locations spread across the globe, in this charming neighbourhood, “some of the best restaurants, shops, gardens or markets come together”.

In a short walk down the Rua da Escola Politécnica, for example, it is easy to see that this was the address chosen by a large number of stores with bold identities, avant-garde brands or restaurants with flavours that transport us to all corners of the globe. With great doses of grace, the world is right here.

A historical tour of Príncipe Real

When we talk about Príncipe Real, we are referring to King D. Pedro V, son of the remarkable Queen D. Maria II. Born in 1837, this monarch, who died at the age of 24, became known in history with some suggestive names: “the Saint”, “the Hopeful” or “the Beloved”.

Given his premature disappearance, this king had little time to govern the destinies of the country. Still, he continues to be remembered for the high moral standards that guided his performance as heir to the crown. Some say that his kindness and passion remain in the romantic garden baptized in his honour.

We speak, of course, about the Jardim do Príncipe Real, built in the middle of the 19^th century. In this green, flowery and peaceful space, you can find a playground, kiosks with terraces, a small outdoor market with organic products (on the last Saturday and Monday of each month), a pond with a fountain, and even a tree classified as being of public interest – a huge cedar-of-Buçaco more than 20 meters in diameter.

Must-see places in the Príncipe Real area

The dynamism of this area is visible on the first visit. Among the nineteenth-century mansions and palaces that dot the neighbourhood, you will find several must-see places during your stay at Príncipe Real apartments.

A clear example of this is the renowned National Museum of Natural History and Science. The institution’s mission is to promote curiosity and public understanding of nature and science. Here, you should take the time to discover the Botanical Garden. This extensive natural retreat, founded in 1878, hides a portrait of the flora from various parts of the world; also hosting a butterfly garden that will impress both kids and adults alike.

São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint: let your eyes breathe

Take some time to go for a walk, or go shopping, on the busy streets of Chiado. Then, on the way to Príncipe Real, take a break at the São Pedro de Alcântara viewpoint. In this mandatory stop for those visiting Lisbon, you will find a pleasant garden, full of statues of heroes and gods from Greco-Roman mythology, such as Minerva and Ulysses.

The ex-libris of this place is, of course, the wide view it offers to the city. From here, it is possible to appreciate the Castle of São Jorge, the houses of the Alfama or Downtown neighbourhood, the magnificence of the Sé Catedral, the modernity of the avenues or the calmness of the Tagus River. It is poetry to look at, and even more stunning when the sun goes down and the lamps begin to light up. Linger in its beauty!
