Location and Surroundings

Rua da Quintinha is the name of the street where this apartment is located in the Príncipe Real district, very close to the famous Bairro Alto. This is fast becoming one of Lisbon's most trendy districts, filled with gardens, a couple of the city's most lovely squares, and colourful houses.

Only a few steps away you can find supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and shops, especially around Praça das Flores, a romantic, cozy leafy square garden. This area is popular with artists and students, and is close to the vibrant and bohemian Bairro Alto with its steep cobbled streets, lively nightlife and trendy shops.

From here you are within walking distance to the areas of Chiado, Bairro Alto, são Bento with its antiques shops, and the Santos Design District.

Nearby Lisbon's botanical garden and National History Museum may be found. At the lovely Praça das Flores square you can have brunch on Sundays at Pão de Canela. Nearby you can find the Brasileira Café, one of Lisbon's oldest and best loved cafeterias. Originally opened in 1905, the cafe is decorated in Art Deco style and has been a favorite haunt of poets, writers and artists for decades. The A Vida Portuguesa shop is also a must, near São Carlos theatre. The Principe Real Miradouro, or viewpoint, offers magnificent paranoramic views across the city. Nearby you can also take the Gloria Funicular Railway.
