The first thing we noticed about City of Glass was the windows – the living room has a full three-sixty view of Cais do Sodre and for more, you can go up to the rooftop terrace. The décor is modern and simple, paying homage to traditional Portuguese design through azulejo patterns on the wall and kitchen tiles. This home also has one of the most comfortable sofa beds we've tested in Lisbon, which adds to the cosy vibe. You'll be staying in a vibrant neighbourhood, famous for its nightlife – but City of Glass is tucked away on a side street so you can enjoy your stay noise-free.

Local guide
About Saldanha
Saldanha is the uptown business district of Lisbon, filled with designer shops and upscale restaurants that contrast the modern buildings where many locals spend their working days. But it's not like Saldanha closes down after five – there's plenty of residents who appreciate the neighbourhood's sleek look. As a consequence, Saldanha has a great fresh food market, a few cosy cafes, parks and everything else you might need for a great stay. The traffic connections are fast and abundant, meaning most parts of Central Lisbon are only a short train ride away.
