Its current development, with the renovation of old palaces into a boutique hotel and museum, confirms its unique character.It has been an industrial area with its many factories and road accesses. Faced with the decline of the industrial age, the district was able to reinvent itself thanks to its Docks and the creation of the LX Factory. Located in front of the Tagus River and the marina, Docas de Santo Amaro has become a popular spot for families. Rehabilitated into restaurants and bars, these places were able to reach a new population.LX Factory is built around an old textile factory, the Companhia de Fiação e Tecidos Lisbonense. Today, it houses restaurants, bars, offices, fashion stores, and workshops. In just a few years, the LX Factory has become the hottest place in the capital, giving a second life to this magnificent district.It is also a source of tranquility and a lot of greenery with the neighboring forest of Monsanto, the true lung of Lisbon. Moving away from the Tagus River, in the heights, you will find vineyards, which offer an unexpected panorama in the heart of the city. This area of Alcântara is particularly notable for its large botanical park of Tapada da Ajuda.Another advantage of Alcântara, which today makes it one of the most livable areas of Lisbon, is its location. It is well connected by many buses and trams and is only 10 minutes from Lisbon city centre. It is also the ideal place to access the best beaches in the area. A train line leads directly to Cascais and the proximity of the 25 de Abril bridge makes the beaches of Costa da Caparica particularly accessible.We share with all real estate professionals on 50%/50%.
