For most travellers, the best areas to stay in Lisbon are Baixa and Chiado, offering a central and convenient base for exploring the city.


Baixa is Lisbon's elegant downtown area, known for its grand squares like Praça do Comércio and Rossio Square, and its grid-like streets rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. It's very walkable and features an abundance of shops, restaurants, and hotels, making it an excellent hub for sightseeing. You're never far from a metro station here, making onward travel straightforward.


Chiado, adjacent to Baixa, is a slightly more upscale and sophisticated neighbourhood. It's renowned for its theatres, historic cafes such as "A Brasileira" on Rua Garrett, and high-end boutiques. The area seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities and offers excellent transport links, including the Santa Justa Lift which connects it to Baixa.


Families often find Baixa a good fit due to its relatively flat streets, making it easier to navigate with pushchairs, and its central location provides easy access to public transport for day trips. The wide pavements and open squares offer space for children, and there are plenty of dining options to suit all tastes.


Couples looking for a refined yet lively experience will appreciate Chiado. Its evening buzz from the theatres and restaurants, combined with its stylish shopping and beautiful architecture, creates a wonderful setting for a romantic trip.
