This area is full of interesting sights, such as the Castle, the Cathedral and the famous tram 28, running right down our street. There is a flea market every Tuesday and Saturday just 5 minutes' walk away.
Also, the areas of Alfama or Mouraria are within walking distance and it is a wonderful idea to go there and see the oldest part of town with its Moorish inheritance.
By Car (from the airport):
- At the airport roundabout, go towards the centre through Avenida Almirante Gago Coutinho.
- Go straight on and you will drive through Avenida Almirante Reis and Rua da Palma, till you reach Martim Moniz square.
- At Rua da Palma, you should see the tram number 28's tracks. Follow them all the way up to Graça ( you should pass through Rua Andrade, Rua Angelina Vidal and Rua da Graça).
- At Rua da Graça turn into the first right, where there is a sign saying 'Miradouro'. This is Rua da Senhora do Monte.
- Come up the whole street till you reach a belvedere (Miradouro) and see the street going down. That is the Calçada do Monte.
- We are there, right after the belvedere.
