Lisbon Downtown

Description:
In historical Baixa, the 'downtown city', we offer you a commodious apartment, built in the 18th-century neoclassicistic style of Marquês de Pombal. In one of the main streets, on the second floor, you'll find a nice, well-kept accomodation for your stay in Lisbon. The apartment houses up to 6 people. By foot (2-15 minutes) you can visit nearly all monuments, museums, theatre's, old quarters, the Castle of São Jorge, miradouros (view spots), squares, café's and restaurants.

Baixa is one of the first examples of city-planning in Europe. Here you'll find the most prominent squares. The Praça da Figueira (at walking distance from the district Mouraria, a multicultural meeting place), the Rossio (with it's railway station in Manuel-style, and famous café Nicola) and the Praça dos Restauradores (where the central tourist agency is). The most well-known shopping street, the Rua Augusta, leads to the Praça do Comércio, the old Terreiro do Paço (Palace Square). This square was for 400 years the residence of the Royal Palace, until both were destroyed by the earthquake in 1755. In a corner lies the Martinho da Arcada, the oldest café of Lisbon, which used to be frequented by Fernando Pessoa. In 1974 the square played an important part in the non-violent Carnation Revolution.
You can walk along the river Tague for 5 minutes and then take the train at railway station Cais do Sodré. This train will take you to Belem (museums, monuments, parks), several beaches, Estoril (the biggest casino in Europe) and the final stop Cascais, a small town by the ocean.
