The soul of Avenidas Novas

Avenidas Novas is 20th-century bourgeois Lisbon. The grand avenues line up seven-storey Art Deco blocks, law offices and insurance HQs. Saldanha is the city's CBD. Halfway up, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation runs one of Europe's most elegant modernist gardens. Campo Pequeno's neo-Moorish bullring now doubles as a concert hall. This is where Lisbon's diplomatic and executive families live. No cobblestone charm, no river view, but metro on every corner, schools in walking distance, and the city's most efficient quality of life.
