Lisbon

We have been to Lisbon before and looked forward to renewing our association with this city. We had for this trip booked an apartment for us and our friend Marilyn not in the lower part of town but high up, though still in walking distance from the centre of town.

The Lisbon Colours is in the heart of the Bairro Alto, Travessa da Queimada No. 46, connecting with Rua da Barroca.

The Lisbon Colours is the right place to start on a journey to discover the colours of Lisbon. Your starting point for memorable experiences in this charming city. To discover Lisbon from the Lisbon Colours is an experience that is renewed at each stay.

15 minutes away from the Airport with subway station, tramway, bus stops and taxi a few meters away from the building, this will be the base that allows you to be 'near of everything” and to take advantage of your stay to explore the city, and the outskirts, with all the convenience and that sensation to always return home.

A 5-minute walk from Rossio, from downtown, from 'Praça do Comércio' quickly you'll be near the river 'Tejo'.

In less than 5 minutes by foot you'll arrive at the 'Rosssio' train station, with connection to 'Sintra' and the 'Cais do Sodré' station, with connection to Belém/Estoril/Cascais.

The Lisbon International Airport is about 12 km away and the 'Santa Apolónia' international train station is about 1 Km away. The only downside for us was the Irish Pub and a Club in the same street (laneway more like it) as the front door of the apartments and our bedroom windows, closing time was a little noisy, apart from this the experience was positive, breakfast was a basket of goodies placed outside of the door before 8 o’clock, it was more than just adequate, allowing us to even make some lunch to take away.

Our first day was a blur we arrived in the afternoon after a very long flight 33 hours from the time of departure from Mascot to landing at Lisbon, add to that the time we needed to be at Mascot and the time clear customs at Lisbon, because of this we did not venture far having dinner at a café about 50m from our apartment then retiring for the night
