Nestled against the walls of Castelo São Jorge (castle) in the centre of Lisbon, this charming apartment enjoys an exceptional location in the old part of town and stunning views over the Baixa (centre), river and Ponte 25 de Abril (bridge). The castle, Sé (cathedral) and legendary 28 tram are just 3 minutes walk away and the Baixa with its shops, Metro, monuments and museums can be reached by foot within 5-7 minutes, making the apartment the perfect base for sightseeing, eating out or simply relaxing on the roof terrace under the castle walls. Despite its central location it is well away from the noise and bustle of downtown Lisbon on account of its position on top of the hill which also ensures cool evening breezes and breathtaking sunsets.
