The area of Principe Real is ideal for a relaxing holiday. There are some lovely restaurants, a little park and some interesting shops. Joana's apartment was ideal for three fairly sprightly 70 year old ladies despite being on the first floor! It was very well appointed with quirky lighting and attractive decor. There is a little pastry shop next door, with delightful staff, which was handy for breakfast. We booked a culinary walking tour with Culinary Backstreets which was well worth doing. Our guide, Martim, was wonderful and full of enthusiasm. We were given tips on where to eat as well as tasting various local specialities on the way. I can thoroughly recommend Lisbon and this apartment.
