This charming rent apartment in Lisbon is a two bedroom apartment rental located in an urban building with 8 floors built during the seventies. This Lisbon apartment was fully renovated two years ago and now its brand spanking new. The capacity of this holiday apartment in Lisbon is for five people: it has two bedrooms with double beds and one of them also has one extra single bed. This fresh and colourful self catering apartment has two modern bathrooms, and a fully-equipped kitchen that includes two fridges, an electric oven, a microwave and gas stove. Its luminous living room houses a table for six people and also boasts a TV with cable channels and a computer with free Wi-Fi internet connection. Other amenities include an ironing board and iron and a washing machine.

This centre apartment in Lisbon located near the Lisbon Zoo and the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, two really well known places in the central Lisbon. If much of Portugal is explained by its explorer past, then this is the district to explore that history. It was from Belem that many of the great Portuguese explorers left to “discover the world.” From downtown Lisbon, hop aboard one of the yellow trams: if they are running, try to make it to one of the old yellow trams for a taste of history. The nearby Belem Palace was built starting in the 16th century. It is now the official residence of the President of Portugal, so it can be visited only on Saturdays, when you will be able to see its richly furnished halls. Stop by the Coaches Museum, which is part of the Palace; it has one of the largest collections of ornate coaches in the world. The Monastery of Jeronimos is probably the most impressive building in this district. It is said that Vasco Da Gama slept in a tent and prayed on the site of this building before he left on his voyage. The monastery was built in 1502 by King Manuel I to commemorate Da Gama’s voyage. Da Gama’s tomb is inside. All of these sites are within easy walking distance of each other. There are many cafes in the area; the best places for a drink and pastries are the Antiga Confeitaria de Belem or the Casa Pasteis.
