This is one of the oldest areas in Lisbon, where the busiest streets blend perfectly with the calm and simplicity of the residential areas.
Living in Benfica isto be always just steps away from local shops, markets and essential services, while the Benfica Market, Colombo Shopping centre and several supermarkets and hypermarkets are very close.
Benfica has excellent accessibility and transport, modern social and leisure facilities, schools and large green areas such as Parque da Mata de Benfica.
While many choose this area for the typical cuisine of its traditional restaurants, others choose to be close to the modern and elegant Sport Lisboa e Benfica stadium, visible throughout the eastern part of the city.
Benfica is a great area for those who enjoy outdoor sports or who are looking for a quiet place to live in the cozy city centre.
