Squared Away

Squared Away: Lisbon

If you’re looking for a central base, you can’t do much better than this little studio we spotted overlooking Rossio Square, one of the liveliest areas in the whole of Lisbon. Whether you’re here for the monuments, the architecture, or the world-class cuisine, this place has got you covered, situated within easy reach of the city’s most popular attractions. Start with a coffee in the main square then set off for a day of sightseeing, making sure to stop by Lisbon Cathedral to soak up stunning rooftop views of the Capital.

When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, you’ll come home to your recently renovated apartment, where you’ll find all the essentials you’d expect from a nifty hotel alternative. Rustle up a Portuguese-inspired dish in the kitchenette, then pour yourself a glass of wine and tuck into your home-cooked feast as you gaze out at the city’s rooftops. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to unwind.
