Warm, open, and intentionally cultivated community focused on meaningful connections.

Social Events

The community is actively nurtured through a weekly agenda of events.

Location & Accessibility

Exceptionally central in Lisbon's Baixa, providing unmatched walkability to the city's core attractions, transport hubs, and daily necessities. The area is well-served by public transport, though the location itself minimizes the need for frequent trips.

Public Transport

Excellent access. The area is served by multiple metro, bus, and tram lines. Key hubs like Cais do Sodré (for trains to Cascais/Belém) and Rossio are within walking distance. Lisbon Airport is approximately a 20-30 minute drive or metro ride away.

Car Considerations

A car is not necessary for daily life and is generally discouraged due to limited parking and dense urban traffic in central Lisbon. The location is optimized for walking and public transport.

Walkability

Extremely walkable. Most of central Lisbon's attractions, including Praça do Comércio, Chiado, Alfama, and the Sé Cathedral, are within a 15-25 minute walk. The neighborhood is flat and pedestrian-friendly. Taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available.

Key Distances

Located approximately 300 meters (5 min walk) from the center of Lisbon (Rossio). Key attractions like São Jorge Castle and the Tagus River are within a 15-20 minute walk. Groceries, cafes, and restaurants are abundant in the immediate vicinity.

Challenges & Tips

The central location means it can be busy and lively, especially in the evenings. Some areas like Alfama involve uphill walks. For arrivals, using the metro from the airport or a pre-booked taxi/ride-share is the most straightforward option.
