This apt is located in Bairro Alto region of Lisbon, which is a lively area with plenty small bars and restaurants just a short stroll away. However, the apt is just far enough away to have a great nights rest. It is an attic apt so it is up 2 flights of spiral stairs but it’s not too steep. We felt very safe in the area. There is a mini grocery store nearby. The shopping in Baixa area and Baixa-Chiado Metro is just 10 mins away downhill. We took the Metro from there to Rossio and got a regional train to Sintra. We availed of a tuc-tuc to go to the top of the hill there and it was an experience. On another day we took the metro to Cais do Sodré and got regional train to Cascais which is a lovely scenic route.The journey took about 40 mins as it stops at most stations.
