This stylish home, housed in a characterful building with a pretty façade, has fabulous views over Lisbon's rooftops to the River Tagus from its windows. A lot of attention to detail has gone into this apartment, from the use of local Lioz stone to the colourful kitchen splashback created and signed by an artist. The open-plan living space is the perfect place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing in Portugal's capital city. As evening approaches, let the host book a restaurant for you or cook yourself a Portuguese feast with regional produce to enjoy at the dining table. This home is in the backstreets behind the Time Out Market in Mercado da Ribeira. Here you'll find over twenty restaurants and stylish music venue bars, as well as shops and market vendors selling fresh food and flowers – and it's only a three-minute walk away.
