Xabregas is a neighbourhood built by the river. This neighbourhood is located in a typical area where young artists are using the abandoned warehouses as canvas. The area is going through a rehabilitation programme that aims to preserve its history and at the same time turn it into a Creative and Entrepreneurial Pole. The area has some cultural spots such as Xabregas Monastery and The National Tiles Museum, bringing tourists to the area. Since 1980, Teatro Ibérico – was installed in the old baroque church, previously the Monastery of São Francisco de Xabregas. To move around in the city, you can catch the bus or train, the area doesn’t have connection to the city metro grid.
The neighbours in the area are older people that have lived here their entire life.
Convent of St. Francis of Xabregas founded in 1456, under the ruins of the old Palace of Xabregas is now a Theatre.
The investments in the area are turning it into a place facing the future.
The neighbourhood facing the Tejo still preserves some of its traditions while trying to renovate itself.
Lisbon is a laid back city that likes to eat, drink and dance.
It has all the culture and events of a European capital, but it’s a city you can enjoy at a much slower pace. Make the most of the awesome weather at the beaches, chilling at riverside cafés or sunbathing in the city’s gardens.
From enjoying a few beers in the streets, to crazy Erasmus events in bars and clubs, there are parties to go to every night.
