Staying in Areeiro
Areeiro is the planned district north-east of the centre: the Avenida de Roma, the Alameda fountain, Praça do Areeiro and streets of solid five-storey Estado Novo apartment blocks laid out in the 1940s. Flats here are the largest in central Lisbon and among the cheapest per square metre.
The practical case is transport. Alameda is the interchange of the green and red lines, which means the airport is twelve minutes away without changing and the Baixa is six. If you land late, leave early, or are travelling with a family that needs three bedrooms rather than a view, this is the most sensible booking in the city.
What you give up is Lisbon. Nothing here is old, nothing here is pretty, and the walk to the Baixa is a flat forty minutes past car showrooms. The restaurants are neighbourhood tascas that close at ten. It is a perfectly decent place to sleep with excellent transport, and it is not a place you will remember.
What works
- Alameda joins the green and red lines - airport in about 12 minutes
- The largest flats in central Lisbon, and the cheapest per square metre
- Flat, safe, ordinary residential streets at every hour
- Six minutes on the metro to Rossio and the Baixa
What does not
- Nothing to see: 1940s apartment blocks and a lot of traffic
- About 40 flat but dull minutes on foot to the Baixa
- Restaurants are local tascas that shut by about 22:00
- Avenida Almirante Reis and the Areeiro roundabout are loud
