We had a fab weekend and the apartment was perfect for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It had everything you could need and has been beautifully decorated.
The location was great, as it was quiet yet close to amenities (train and metro station,restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery shops etc..) Even though it's close to the tourist attractions and the many Fado music bars, we felt like one of the locals.
The location is also great for exploring the Castle and the surrounding area, with its hidden alleys and higgledy-piggledy streets where you can find quirky cafes and shops.
There is the No.6 ranked restaurant in Lisbon down the road called 'Sal Grosso' (towards the train station) where you can get the menu of the day for 6 euros. Unfortunately we never got the chance to eat there as it was always full, but we heard amazing things about it. We recommend booking it in advance!
We found the most amazing food market called Mercado da Ribeira. Time Out has transformed half of the market into a gourmet food court and we had the best meal there during our stay, so definitely worth a trip!! It is opposite Cais do Sodre station.
Also, if you have some time we recommend going to the Docks (Docas de Santo Amaro). You can walk there from Cais do Sodre and it's a great place to absorb the sun and enjoy a drink or bite to eat at one of the many water front bars / restaurants overlooking the famous 25 de Abril bridge.
We also visited Sintra which is about 40 mins by train . It is worth a trip if you have time as it is the most unique and beautiful place to visit, particularly the palace, with it's breathtaking views of Lisbon!
There is just too much to do!! :-)
