Find which part of Lisbon fits you
Lisbon sits on the Atlantic coast where the Tagus River meets the sea, spreading across steep hills that rise from a broad waterfront. The city center is a dense weave of narrow streets and tightly packed older buildings, many faced with traditional ceramic tile, while flatter districts closer to the river follow a regular grid. Hillside neighborhoods climb steeply, making streetcars, funiculars, and stairways part of daily travel alongside buses, a metro, and ferries that cross the estuary. Housing ranges from centuries-old apartments in the historic core to newer blocks in outer districts. The climate is mild and Atlantic-influenced, with warm summers and wet, windy winters. This compact, vertical layout fosters busy street life and accessible local services, though large parks and continuous greenery remain scarce across the measured areas.
These parts of Lisbon have been measured in full rather than modelled — each has its own page with the five scores, the readings underneath them and photos of the streets.
Across the 2 measured areas HoodEx has mapped in Lisbon, the average score is 7.9 out of 10 — strong. That places Lisbon 4th of the 33 cities measured so far, 1.3 above the 6.6 average across those cities.
The highest-scoring area is São Nicolau at 8.1/10; the lowest is Santa Maria Maior at 7.7/10.
