This bright flat is a real showstopper, with impressively sized rooms, high ceilings and stunning original features. The interior feels like a marriage of traditional Portuguese architecture (think exposed Pombalian beams and hardwood floors) with clean, contemporary aesthetics (all the mod cons you need for a family break). After a long day of traversing Lisbon's hills, stretch out those tired legs on the plush sofa or, if you're in the mood to cook, whip up a feast in the sleek kitchen and gather around the dining table. When you're ready to turn in, the luxe bedrooms will ensure you're well-rested for another day of exploring. You're only a two-minute walk from Praça da Figueira – one of the most central points in the city – and many more of Lisbon's sights can be reached on foot, including the Praça do Comércio just a ten-minute stroll away. The surrounding streets here are a great mix of local restaurants and more touristy spots, with a huge array of shops, cafes and restaurants to discover.

About Baixa
Lisbon’s most central area, Baixa is brimming with distinctively Portuguese charm and history. With the city’s traditional ‘calçada portuguesa’ – the intricately patterned cobblestone that makes up most pedestrian pavements – underfoot, walk through colourful streets flanked by grand Neoclassical buildings. In contrast to the narrow lanes of Chiado and Alfama, the avenues here are wide and somewhat uniform, forming a grid-like network filled with restaurants, bars and shops. Praça...
