On the slope of the Bairro Alto hill you will find the street where the apartment is located: Rua da Mãe de Água. This name was assigned to this street due to the existence of an ancient water reservoir on top of it. Mãe de Água is a water reservoir. Today this place houses a big wine bar named Chararix do Vinhowhere you can do wine tasting. From here you are near to the major attractions of the city. In fact you are two steps away from Baixa/Avenida area: steping down the street you will find a leafy square garden called Praça da Alegria (giving the name to the apartment), right just before reaching the Avenida da Liberdade, considered to be the most important avenue boulevard in the city. This wide avenue would be the lisbonean champs elisées: we can find a certain elegance here in some of its cafés and shops. In fact this is most expensive area in Lisbon, along with the Chiado area. Here you´ll find the big international premium brands. Avenida da Liberdade leads to the Restauradores and Rossio squares which are considered the belly button of Lisbon.
On the opposite side, and stepping up the hill you will find yourself in Principe Real and Bairro Alto area. This is the hill opposite to the castle and here you will find a great leafy square garden, the one of Príncipe Real with wonderfull 200 year old cedars. These two districts are famous for its restaurants, fado houses, bars and clubs. Here you will never get bored.
From Rua da Mãe de Água you are at a walking distance to the city center, but you can always take the Metro in Avenida to explore the rest of the city. For your basic needs local grocery stores are available for you.
