Bordered by Cais do Sodré, Alcântara and São Bento, Santos is a hip and trendy neighbourhood filled with design shops, cool restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and even a creative school. Behind the Santos Square are the narrow streets leading up to the small and picturesque Madragoa neighbourhood, which, together with Alfama, was a fishing community. Nowadays, Santos is a successful blend of charm and innovation, with gorgeous new cafés and cosy restaurants with all types of cuisine, museums, art galleries, gardens and parks, and direct access to the long promenade along the Tagus River.
