Staying at Arco do Bandeira turned out to be a great choice for exploring Lisbon. The location is super convenient—you’re literally in the middle of everything! It’s close to Rossio Square, Baixa-Chiado, and tons of restaurants, cafés, and shops. Getting around was easy, whether we were walking to nearby landmarks or hopping on public transport.
The apartment itself was really cute and had everything you could need for a short stay—plenty of space, comfy bedding, and all the essentials. One little drawback was a slight smell, probably because the building is older. They had an air freshener to try and cover it up, but it was still noticeable. That said, it didn’t ruin the experience.
What made the stay even better were the dining options nearby. There’s something for everyone, from casual spots to fancy places. It’s a solid choice if you want to be in the heart of Lisbon and enjoy easy access to everything.
