This 68 sqm2 deluxe double bedroom apartment can accommodate up to five people (four adults and one child). It has a spacious living room (16 m2) with comfortable furnishings, including a sofa bed, which sleeps two adults. The bedroom has two single beds, a roomy wardrobe and a modern bathroom. The kitchen is fully fitted (14m2) and has a dining area and laundry facilities.

About Lisbon
This apartment is located near the Cais do Sodre station which provides the widest range of public transport in Lisbon.
If you have come to Lisbon to enjoy the flavours and delights of Lisbon cuisine, you are in the right place! Just 100 metres away is Rua da Moeda and its famous restaurants, and just 200 metres away is Chiado, the new heart of Lisbon attractions. Only a short distance away is "24 de Julho", the "Docas" and "Saint Apolónia", where Lisbon night life is at its best.
Chiado
Chiado is a cultural centre with bustling shopping streets. About 300 meters from the apartment are the opera house, theatres, bookstores, museums, restaurants, Portuguese designer shops and the famous refuge of great Portuguese literary personalities such as Fernando Pessoa and Eça de Queiroz, 'A Brasileira' cafe, a popular meeting place for art students.
The Baixa Pombalina (a UNESCO world heritage site)
This original architectural style takes its name from the Marquês de Pombal who had this area rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. Rua Augusta (500 metres from your apartment door) is in one of the busiest areas in Lisbon. It is a pedestrian street full of shops, street vendors selling flowers or roast chestnuts and independent street artists, such as the ‘statue man’, concertina players and many more. There are two magnificent squares at either end of this street, Rossio Square, and Comércio Square.
Bairro Alto and Alfama
You can reach the two most traditional districts of Lisbon within minutes! Visit Alfama for the architecture, sounds and atmosphere of ancient Lisbon. Along these narrow, winding streets, and up and down Alfama’s steep stone steps you will find hidden treasures and get a feel for the true soul of Lisbon.
Lisbon Nightlife - On foot
All within 5 minutes of your apartment you will find plenty of places for an evening stroll, and bars, cafés and discos are plentiful in places like Cais do Sodré, 24 de Julho, Alcântara, Santa Apolónia
Culture on every corner
Within minutes of your apartment Lisbon has theatre, opera, museums, and shows to offer, and you can take your pick. The choice is up to you!
Public Transport
This apartment is located just 50 metres from Caís do Sodré Station, a public transport hub, with links to many destinations, both within and outside the city of Lisbon.
The days of relying on Caravels (Portuguese two-masted boats) to carry you from one bank of the river to the other have long since gone. Today you can take modern ferry boats ("cacilheiros"). Trains take you to other parts of the country, while the subway, or metro as it is known locally, takes you around the city of Lisbon. There are also street cars, buses and other public transport links at Caís do Sodré station.
