Have you imagined eating in a Chinese restaurant, having a coffee at a Nepalese and saying hello to your neighbors in more languages than you can count? In its houses that maintain their original architecture, dominated by larger homes, Arroios is home to people from 78 different nationalities. Combining residential areas with commerce, is no surprise that this has become a popular neighborhood for families and students. Here the traditional commerce lives side by side with modern stores. There isn't a strong sense of neighborhood here and yet Arroios is close to the city centre. Catching the green metro line, you can reach Baixa in about 12 minutes.
