Perched in one of Lisbon’s iconic hills, on a totally refurbished nineteenth century building only a few yards away from glamorous Avenida da Liberdade, we host a service for the traveller or backpacker seeking tranquility and the unique ambiance of living in one of Lisbon’s typical quarters. A place full of memory and tradition, were young children can safely play in the streets and the elder simply gaze away the scenery through the centuries old windows of their homes.
In addition, the friendliness of our staff, well versed in the art of knowing Lisbon by heart, and the sophisticated cosiness of our premises, will transform your stay in an unforgettable experience. If you wish to do so, making new friends from every corner of the world is indeed only a chit-chat away…
Smack-dab in the centre of Lisbon, easily accessed by bus, tram or the underground, the “Albergo Odisseo” is a mere 10 minute stroll from monumental Baixa, historical Rossio, charming Chiado and night-time trendy Bairro Alto. To admire the view from the city’s Castle. Walk trough the centuries old labyrinth streets of Alfama in great contrast with he carefully planned “Illuminist Era” Baixa streets, and reach the monumental Praça do Comércio with its late-eighteenth century architecture. Climb trough the romantic nineteenth century Chiado or perhaps loose yourself all night long in the multitude of bars, pubs and restaurants of nearby Bairro Alto…
All of this is only a small part of the Lisbon experience. A place of both old and new. A city were tradition and modernity blend together in harmony to become more than the sum of it’s parts. That’s Lisbon. You’ll never get to know her in only one day, but a sunny afternoon is all it takes to fall in love for life! Colourful, joyful, varied and full of pleasant surprises, that’s Lisbon! You can enjoy her trough the windows of an historic tram, or, better still, walk her traditional seven hills. Get to know her secrets. Her hidden beauties. The stories and History told by her streets and her monuments, by her people and by her quarters. It’s all waiting for you to discover!
