Which Lisbon neighbourhood is best for students?

Alameda and Arroios if you are at Instituto Superior Técnico, both are a 10–15 minute walk from campus. Saldanha, Campo Pequeno and Alvalade suit ISCTE and Católica. Santos and Cais do Sodré are closest to ISEG.

Which is the cheapest neighbourhood for a room in Lisbon?

Alto dos Moinhos has our lowest price floor, followed by Alameda. Both are on the metro with a direct ride into the centre, so the saving does not cost you a long commute.

How the city breaks down

Lisbon is small enough that no neighbourhood is far from another, but the difference between a ten-minute walk to campus and a forty-minute commute is the difference between two very different years. Our inventory is concentrated where students and young professionals actually need to be.

Alameda is the largest cluster by some distance, because Instituto Superior Técnico sits in it. Saldanha and Marquês de Pombal follow: the business districts, where professionals and master’s students want to be. The riverside neighbourhoods, Santos and Cais do Sodré, are smaller and go quickest.
