Eating at the Optimista is a sensorial experience. It's Portuguese cuisine with a masters twist. Delicate and passionate flavours inspired my the sea and what natures has best to offer create an experience that might sound elitist, until you sit down and get to know Filipe, the owner and understand his passion to do what Portuguese do best, take good care of you. It's not overpriced in any way, costing the same as any other restaurant just around the corner. It's just special because it's designed, prepared and served with the upmost care and attention to detail, letting the experience to be enjoyed and remembered. Book in advance. From the Apartment it's a 30 min walk.

This is one of the best disco's in Europe. And it's the best disco in Lisbon. Two floors. Downstairs you'll dance until 8am (You will start to thing that maybe you should move and live here). Check on-line for the weekly program of tier 1 DJ's and your favorite bands, but they are not lost in a musical festival far away, they are right in front of you playing for your enterteinment. Super cool. Expect brilliant House and Techno music from all around the world. It's far away from the Apartment, about 1 hour walk. It's not impossible, just very tiring. I recommend an Uber or Taxi and relax the next day!

This place is special. Good music from synth pop to psychedelic rock from 90's classics to the unreleased single of your special fringe band, this where it all combines. Just brilliant. But it gets packed and the if gets full, witch it does every weekend you'll have to wait a long time. So try to arrive before 2am. Closes at 5am. It's 50min walking distance from the apartment. Remember, Lisbon has seven hills, they all combine against you, so I would recommend Uber or Taxi. 20 min ride and you'll be home.

Dive bar without food. Awful. But you can't avoid it. Excellent music from the late 70's to yesterday's new hit single. Great drinks and atmosphere will not help you trying to leave. Closes at 5am. And you'll come out with a smile... 20 min drive to the Apartment, Uber or Taxi. 40 min walk through downtown, it's a nice walk until the apartment from Caís do Sodré.

It's just a bar. But it's a very good one. Great service, good music and a great central location in Bairro Alto, makes it ideal for a starting point in your exploration of this classic neighbourhood full of restaurants and bars that fuel our social life. It's the tallest hill around so getting to some other quarter like Bica or Caís do Sodré is a quick 10 min walk. To get to bairro alto you catch the Metro line, 10 min an your there from the Apartment.

Óbidos is just far enough from Lisbon to be proper country side. Also, it's a historical gem. It's a medieval burgh surrounded by defensive walls and still today, this little town only exists within the limits of it's defensive walls. It's beautiful and a true part of an old forgotten Portugal. Within the walls there amazing restaurants and crafty shops that sell one our best licors, a soft cherry with a twist called Ginginha. Sweet and delicious.

Parks & Nature

Lisbon is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the closest beaches to the Apartment are the ones in the Cascais - Estoril coast line. You'll have to catch a train in Caís do Sodré station and in 25min you´re at the beach. The commute is very easy and effortless. Putting your feet in the hot white sand is one of the best things in the whole world! The beach is free and there are always little bars and restaurants that have all that might be needed for an enjoyable time. Put some cream and be safe in the water, remember, it's and ocean.

Costa de Caparica is Lisbon's south side. But most importantly is where a continuous stretch of 25 kms of sandy beaches start from where the river meets the ocean... You can get there by boat service that leaves every hour from Belem neighbourhood and goes to Trafaria, with is 25 min walk to the first beach from there. Or you can catch a Bus that will take you directly to the Beaches in Costa de Caparica. Whatever your choice, beach always wins in my book. Enjoy the Sun!
