From the Azulejo style tiles in the kitchen to the lemon-yellow flourishes and wooden floors in the living room, this bijou apartment radiates classic Portuguese charm. It straddles the central streets between Baixa and Alfama, where yellow trams trundle past and the smell of pastel de nata floats from nearby bakeries. This is quintessential Lisbon, and all the essential sights are within walking distance. Big windows let the sunshine flood the kitchen and living room with light, creating a sunny spot for breakfast or kicking back after a morning exploring. The master bedroom features an original stone alcove, letting you know that there’s a bit of history retained in these walls.

Local guide
About Mouraria
With street performers, Fado shows and lots of unmissable sights, Mouraria should be at the top of your list. A trip through its narrow streets is like stepping back in time, revisiting the rich cultural background even before the great earthquake of 1755. In fact, the story goes that Fado was born in Mouraria, and it’s since made its way to the UNESCO World Heritage list. Although it’s quite central, this neighbourhood has a strong local community and an independent art scene that will show you a side of old, nostalgic Lisbon that you won’t find anywhere else.
