Location Information

We are located at the very city centre - Marques de Pombal, by the huge and green Park Eduardo VII and the remarkable Avenida da Liberdade.
It is the heart of the city and a very safe area of Lisbon.

* 2 minutes walking distance from nearest subway station (Marques De Pombal).
* 10 minutes walking distance from Rossio and 15 minutes walking distance from Bairro Alto, where you'll find wild nightlife.
* 2 minutes away from the bus that takes you directly to the beaches in the south of Lisbon at Summer time. (45 minutes ride).

Avenida Da Liberdade was completed in 1882. Old architectural gems remain, including a number of art deco kiosks that serve as restaurants in the pedestrian sidewalks and roundabouts. It is bordered with wide blue mosaic pavements, palm trees, many fountains, and ornamental ponds stocked with goldfish and swans. Chic boutiques and designer labels are located here.

Parque Eduardo VII is the largest green space in Lisbon’s city centre. It was named after King Edward VII of England who opened it and its magnificent winter gardens (the Estufa Fria). The Park is a great vantage point from which to see the city and is popular with joggers and dog walkers. It also hosts an annual book fair in May and June.

Praça Marques De Pombal, or Rotunda (literally roundabout) it’s the main intersection for Lisbon's metro system and one of the busiest areas.
