Odivelas is the last stop on the yellow metro line and a privileged location if you are looking for cheaper options to the city center, but with a direct connection to Cidade Universitária or the center of Lisbon (15m by metro).
This is a popular neighborhood for local residents who want to be close enough to the centre but prefer a more manageable cost of living. It’s also where visitors will find historic heritage and museums, the most important being the architecturally multi-faceted Monastery of São Dinis de Odivelas, where Portugal’s sixth king is buried. It was built in the 14th century and showcases different architectural styles including Baroque, Gothic, and Manueline. In Odivelas, you will find a lovely botanical garden that dates back to the 18th century and a fashion museum showcasing centuries-worth of changing trends in Portugal.
