Your calf muscles might not appreciate it at times, but one of the biggest benefits that comes with Lisbon's hilly terrain is the potential for glorious views. This apartment is a prime example. Located in the citadel of São Jorge Castle, guests get a sparkling view of the River Tagus from their windows, which, as we're sure you can imagine, looks sublime come sunset time. The home itself is in a traditional building that has been recently renovated, although a few of the period features remain — the stonework around the windows and the sun-bleached shutters, for example. Your location close to the Alfama and Baixa neighbourhoods puts you in a great position when you want to explore the Portuguese capital. The cathedral is only ten minutes' walk away, while The National Museum of Contemporary Art takes about double that time.
