Situated at the end of Calçada do Duque, this colourful apartment is close to the popular Rossio Square, also known as King Pedro IV Square. This location is great as many of Lisbon’s key attractions are within walking distance, including Chiado with its chic boutiques. Back at this home, there’s an amazing view over Lisbon from the private balcony – it’s the perfect spot for a glass of wine as the sun sets. There’s an office space here too (again with city vistas) if you need to catch up on work.

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.
