Campo de Ourique

Campo de Ourique is the least touristy neighborhood in central Lisbon. Its grid of streets was laid out in 1879, and today it’s mostly a suburban-like middle-class district that also has a growing number of foreign residents, particularly French. There are a few attractive late-19th-century buildings (many with interesting Art Nouveau features), but most are much more recent, from the last half of the 20th century. The main attraction is the covered market, which opened in 1934 to sell fresh fish and produce, but since 2013 it’s also a major dining destination, thanks to a number of food stalls.
