Good for

• families
• business travelers
• long stays
• luxury travelers
• quiet seekers

Less suited to

• nightlife seekers
• budget travelers
• students
• solo travelers
• foodies

Watch out for

• Near the waterfront and main roads, evening traffic and some stretches can feel busier than the residential core.
• For late-night outings, rely on well-lit areas around stations and main avenues rather than isolated streets.
• Public transport to central Lisbon is good, but trips can be longer than they look on a map.
