Lisbon is made up of several different neighbourhoods which all offer visitors something different. There’s the old hillside village of Alfama which was the only part of the city not hit by the 18 th Century earthquake. Today it is a flurry of spiral streets, quirky curiosity shops, and intimate restaurants. Then there’s Baixa, the business district with wide boulevards and office blocks, Chiado, which boasts a collection of high-end, boutique stores, and Bairro Alto, the hip and trendy part of the city that is famous for its bar scene. Belem is the cultural neighbourhood, lying a tram’s ride away from the city centre and housing a large number of Lisbon’s museums, and there’s Cacilhas, located right on the water’s edge and a haven for seafood lovers. Whichever neighbourhood you want to stay in, be sure to choose one of our budget boutique apartments to ensure you have the best stay possible.
Lisbon airport lies just 6km from the city centre and is easily reachable by numerous modes of transport. Firstly, you can grab a taxi from outside the terminal building. The ride takes just a few minutes and costs barely anything. Then there’s the selection of direct buses that take visitors from the terminals into the downtown areas of Lisbon. However, the easiest and most efficient method is the metro, which has a direct line from the airport into the heart of the city. Visitors also arrive in Lisbon via train from neighbouring cities or from Spain via the cross-country services. If you’re arriving this way, you’re most likely to end your journey at the Estacao do Oriente, Lisbon’s main train station. Lisbon boasts an easy-to-use public transport system consisting of buses, trams, a metro, and trains. Trams are the most authentic way to get around town, and there are still some of the vintage models in use in Alfama but, for the most part, you’ll be riding the modern styles, particularly if you’re heading to Belem. The trams are great for seeing more of the city whilst you traverse from one attraction to the next, but the metro allows you to get quickly from one side of the city to the other. There is also a cheap and reliable train service that runs along the banks of the Tagus to nearby seaside villages and the popular castle town of Sintra.
