Perfectly Positioned Gem in Alfama

I stayed here for five nights in September. The location is excellent in Alfama; it's within walking distance of many attractions and eateries, and it's about a six-minute stroll from Rosso Metro. Finding the hotel can be a bit puzzling and challenging as the streets are similar in appearance, and street signs aren't always visible. The room was clean and spacious, with a window that also opened as a door to stand on a Juliet balcony. It included a TV, fridge, safe, and hairdryer, but lacked a tea/coffee maker. There was limited space to store luggage, mainly on top of the console housing the fridge and a couple of drawers for clothing. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist with directions. Special mention to Sophia, who helped me multiple times with trip planning and train schedules. I received port and two Pastéis de Nata with a welcome note. Copenhagen Coffee Lab is part of the hotel and serves breakfast. The breakfast was good. Before booking, I'd read others' concerns about noise, but my third-floor room wasn't very noisy. It's important to remember that staying in the city center means there will be some noise. I would recommend it and happily stay here again.

Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco)

Dreaming of a sunny city break packed with grand architecture and outdoor vibes? Lisbon has it all 🌞✨. At the heart of it sits Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) — the city’s central plaza that’s basically a living postcard for Western-style elegance! Must-See Spot: Praca do Comercio (Terreiro do Paco) Address: 1100-148 Lisbon, Portugal Open: All day, every day (no ticket, no rush — just show up!) What makes Praca do Comercio so awesome? Picture wide open squares perfect for people-watching, impressive yellow facades, and a killer view of the river. Pro tip: go on a sunny afternoon for the best vibes — the light here is photo gold 🟡📸. Wander under the arcades for shade or strike a pose by the triumphal arch. It’s mega-walkable, so comfy sneakers are a win! Insider tip: Want culture and chill? Grab a pastel de nata from one of the cafés lining the square and enjoy the scene. Morning visits are quieter, but the golden hour is pure magic for photos. Getting Around: Lisbon’s metro and trams are a safe bet! Praca do Comercio is minutes from Baixa-Chiado Metro (blue/green line). Or hop on the iconic tram 28 for a true local experience. Food Pick: Try “Café Martinho da Arcada” — a legendary spot on the plaza for strong Portuguese coffee and pastries. Extra Lisbon Tips: No visa needed for most travellers under Schengen. Cashless payments widely accepted. Sunscreen is a must — those rays bounce off the stone! #LisbonDays #SunnyLisbon #PortugalSquares #TravelTips #CultureVibes
