Campo de Ourique, Lisbon: A Local Neighbourhood

Campo de Ourique is a residential Lisbon neighbourhood loved by locals for its flat grid of streets (rare in hilly Lisbon), its food market, independent shops and neighbourhood cafés. It’s at the end of the tram 28 line, and a lovely place to see how Lisboetas actually live.

Quick answer: eat at the Mercado de Campo de Ourique, a traditional market with food stalls. Visit the Casa Fernando Pessoa, the poet’s last home, and walk to the Prazeres Cemetery and the Estrela Basilica. Tram 28 ends at the Prazeres stop here. See places to stay in Campo de Ourique.
