My friends and I traveled from the states prior to a wine tour and spent a few days in Lisbon. This location is perfect. If you’re plan is to walk down to the water front.. it’s about a 35-45 minute walk, but well worth it. Don’t forget the hills :) There is a grocery store just a short walk away. Lovely city! If you’re looking to go to Sintra, we took an Uber but it is easy enough to also take the train/metro. Great communication with Vera! Overall, my friends and I enjoyed our stay.
