Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll only like Baixa if you're ready for the full Lisbon experience – this is one of the busiest parts of town, with tourists and locals out and about shopping and dining at all times of the day. Muscle Car is on the third floor, which means you'll lose some of the noise, but the back of this home is noticeably quieter than the front. Complete with staples of great Portugueses design (such as the corniced ceiling and the gaiolas pombalinas), it serves as a pleasant urban stay. Plus, we loved chatting to Tiago, who truly cares about showing his guests a great time in Lisbon.

Local guide
About Chiado
Chiado is full of old-world charm, and is one of the best-loved parts of Lisbon. Think pastel-hued homes, cobbled streets and plenty of squares to soak up the atmosphere. There’s a slower pace of life in Chiado, which is why it’s so popular with locals. Hop on a tram to take in the open-air ruin of the Camo church, a Gothic masterpiece that was mostly destroyed in an earthquake, or hit the shops – this is one of Lisbon’s best shopping districts, after all.
