We loved the terrace, even in December! The Ajuda neighborhood is quiet and a great location to be in a local vibe while still having easy access to Belem and all the public transportation. We enjoyed meals at Mestrias Tasca Nova, Churrasqueira do Marquês (amazing Frango churrasco) and for pizza at Di Amici. Plus, a new grocery store is located nearby as well.
It is an easy walk downhill to Belem and the water front which we did several times. We would stay in Ajuda again.
