## The neighborhood Right next to the apartment, there are Lisbon's lively Praça do Rossio, Baixa and Avenida da Liberdade, as well as our "Broadway" (Rua Portas de Santo Antao) where you can find traditional theatres, musicals, concerts, etc... Nearby, you have the house where Amália Rodrigues was born, the most famous interpreter of the Portuguese traditional music: "Fado". You will also be able to take one of the picturesque Lisbon trams to come home - "Elevador do Lavra". You can easily walk to Chiado (great for shopping), Terreiro do Paço, Rua Augusta (featuring the famous Rua Augusta's Arch), Castelo de São Jorge and its lookouts (the castle that overlooks the river and protected the city from external attacks) or Cais do Sodre train station where you can take the train and reach our charming beaches in 25 minutes (Carcavelos, Oeiras, Estoril or Cascais). Bairro Alto is also within walking distance and gives you access to the most trendy night places and hipster streets in Lisbon where people drink and socialize outside, enjoying the warm evening summer breezes. Avenida da Liberdade features several rooftops, terraces, restaurants and esplanades for cocktails and relaxing evenings with a view over the river and the scenic landscape of our Golden Gate-like bridge (Ponte 25 de Abril). ## Getting around It is very conveniently served with public transports such as taxis, bus, metro (Restauradores or Martim Moniz) and train (Rossio), all within a 5 minutes' walk. Parking is available free of charge every night and weekends on the street, but if you are flying to Lisbon airport, it takes only 30 min by subway, or a 15 minutes taxi drive.
