Either you've booked a guestroom at our B&B or an apartment, check in is always at our B&B. And don't worry if you stay at an apartment, it's only 2 minutes from the B&B. Before you arrive, don't forget to inform us about your approximate check in time. Here are the directions:

BY BUS

From the airport, take the Aerobus until the end Cais do Sodre. There, take bus 794 until Conde Barão. Once there, walk back 50m and go up Rua das Gaivotas on your left and up to Rua Fernandes Tomás on your right until nº56. There you'll find Beco do Caldeira cul-de-sac. It's at nº1.

From Santa Apolonia train station, take Bus 794 until Conde Barão. Once there, walk back 50m and go up Rua das Gaivotas on your left and up to Rua Fernandes Tomás on your right until nº56. There you'll find Beco do Caldeira cul-de-sac. It's at nº1.

BY TAXI (PRINT THOSE DIRECTIONS, YOU'LL NEED IT)

Unfortunately some of Lisbon’s taxi-drivers are not the best advertisement for the city. They tend not to be aggressive but they do like to take advantage of first time visitors. Here are a few indications to arrive with no trouble.

 

At Lisbon airport, there are 2 taxi areas, one for tourists and one for locals and you’ll get a better price and more courtesy if you choose the right one – as the “tourist” one tends to attract a more dishonest type of driver, looking for tourists to rip off tourists

 

To go to the “locals” area, go right on leaving the baggage hall, then walk 100 metres and take the escalator to gate 1 to 13 in the Departures area. Go straight out the door and take one of the cabs in this area.

 

Bairro Alto and Bica apartments and  Casa do Bairro B&B are in the centre of Lisbon where only cars that belong to residents and taxis can enter.

 

Taxis MUST leave you in front of the door and there is no excuse not to. Should your driver not wish to, tell him that you won’t pay and say you will call the police (POLICIA) and he should immediately change his mind.

The fare shouldn’t be more than 12€ (maximum price including night rate + luggage, 8-9€ during the day). You should refuse to pay anything more.

Always ask for a receipt (FACTURA) and check that it is valid (correct registration number).

 

We don’t mean to frighten you with all of this, quite the opposite, Lisbon is a fantastic city and very safe. But we all must fight those con-artists who like to prey on visitors. Have a nice trip.

Directions for the taxi drivers: Maximum price: 8 to 12€.

BY CAR FROM THE AIRPORT OR HIGHWAY NORTH A1

We suggest here the nearest park called "Calçada do Combro". At least for the first day you may park your car there, it will be easier to carry your luggage to the apartment.

Once you have parked the car, walk down the street "Calçada do Combro". Then turn left at "Travessa do Alcaide". Go straight untill the end of the street and turn right in "Rua Fernandes Tomás". If you're more than one and have luggage, one of you can wait in the corner between Rua Fernandes Tomás and Travessa do Caldeira where the apartments stands, so you won't have to climb the hill back.

Walk down the street until nº 56 where you will find a little cul-de-sac to your left. Casa do Bairro B&B is at Beco do Caldeira nr 1.
