This city center modern apartment is set in a recently rebuilt building in old historic Lisbon.

This bright, daylight filled, 5th floor apartment is located on Rua Garrett, one of the most important streets of historic Lisbon, has a privilege situation in the heart of the cultural and historical part of the city (Chiado).

Very close to several museums, operas, theaters and churches. A few minutes walk takes you to the Rossio, in the Baixa, and to the Elevador da Lavra. The other direction, you will reach the Praça do Comércio, which is located in the center of the Portuguese old empire near the river Tejo (Tagus). To go to Sintra or to Óbidos you must catch the train at Entre-Campos train station, which is just a short subway trip from Chiado.

Chiado is considered the most beautiful area of historical Lisbon. It was a place of residence of the Portuguese royalty and of the political and cultural elites. Nearby is the theater S. Luis and the opera D. Carlos.

Close to shops, restaurants, cafes, banks, cash machine, public transportation (subway and electric trams) and 24 hour taxi stands, etc.

A little further up on the left is Camões Square (Praça de Camões), next to Bairro Alto, picturesque but raffish; part of Lisbon's nightlife seems to be concentrated in this quarter, which was frequented to hear the sentimental 'fados' sung in certain restaurants and cafés. Chiado and Bairro Alto are "the" meeting point for locals and tourists, with elegant hotels, old cafés, and the best international fashion shops nearby.

Lisbon Sightseeing - It operates both open-top bus tours and tourist trams. Both run from the Praça do Comércio. Bus trips are the 'Circuito Tejo', which goes out to Belém as well as other parts of the city, or the (Expresso Oriente' which visits the Parque das Nações. The tram does the 'Circuito das Colinas' (Hill Circuit) which embraces the 28 route through Alfama.

It also visits Estrela to the west of the city. Whilst costly, the advantage of the tourist tram is the audio guided tour and the fact that you will get a seat and not have to stand. Also, the historic trams are decked out in 'historic' upholstery and fittings. Trams also operate a Circuito dos Descobrimentos to Belém.

Accommodation comprises one bedroom with a queen size bed, a second room with 2 single beds, living room with dining and sitting areas, two full bathrooms and fully equipped kitchen. The apartment has air-conditioning and central heating in all the rooms. This privileged location offers easy access by foot to the subway (Chiado/Baixa station – 50 m).

We will welcome you with a nice bottle of wine, coffee and tea ready for you and some biscuits.

Also check our other 1 bedroom apartment on the some building (VRBO #146014).

    • This apartment was everything that was advertised and more. Fantastic location and a beautiful view. We were greeted by Phillipe who gave us a quick overview of the city and sites. He went over and above our expectations. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to our family and friends.

    • Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit (1 Woche) in Lissabon (Sylvester 2008). Die Wohnung ist klasse und scheint im Herzen von Lissabon zu liegen. Alle Ziele sind super mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen und die Haltestellen waren maximal 5 min zu Fuß entfernt. Die Wohnung ist hervorragend geeignet um Lissabon zu erkunden, und der Rundumblick, einfach Klasse. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung ist sehr gut.

    • This was a vacation of a lifetime for our family of 6, all adults. We were very comfortable in this cozy apartment. From here we walked to resteraunts, shopping and trains (to beaches north of Lisbon and to the famous "Sintra"). We spent only 3 nights but would highly recommend this beautiful historical yet modern apartment.

    • Clean, well equipped apartment in an excellent location for exploring Lisbon. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this apartment to others. There are plenty of things to see and do nearby, and the property is also centrally located for shops and restaurants. A major bonus for us was the use of the garage as we hired a car to visit nearby Sintra, Cascais and Estoril (recommended excursion). Thanks to Paulo and Raoul for ensuring a pleasant stay in Lisbon.
