Areeiro, Administrative district in central Lisbon, Portugal
Areeiro is an urban district in central Lisbon that was created by merging former parishes and forms a compact residential area in the city center. It combines living spaces with busy commercial streets and is served by multiple transport connections.
The district was established in 2012 when two former parishes were administratively merged as part of Portugal's larger municipal reorganization. This consolidation reshaped how the city's central areas were organized and managed.
The neighborhood has developed into a place where people from different backgrounds live and work side by side, visible in the shops and restaurants that line its streets. This mix reflects how Lisbon has grown more connected to the world over the past few decades.
The area is well served by two railway stations that offer direct connections across Lisbon and the surrounding region. Being close to these transport hubs makes it easy to explore on foot and move around without difficulty.
After 60 years without growth, the district experienced a population turnaround following the merger, driven mainly by arrivals from abroad. This shift shows in the newer businesses and dining places that have reshaped the neighborhood's character.
