Things to Do in Alcântara, Lisbon

Lisbon's former industrial waterfront beneath the 25 de Abril Bridge, west of the historic center. LX Factory fills textile warehouses with studios, shops, and restaurants, while the Carris Museum, Santo Amaro docks, and hillside streets toward Ajuda preserve the neighborhood's deep ties to transport, labor, and the Tagus.
