In there you are very close to Bairro Alto (where you can find a lot of bars and restaurants open until 2a.m.) and Chiado (with its antique coffees, museums, operas, theatres and churches). You are next door to Mercado da Ribeira, one of the oldest markets in Lisbon (the actual building was inaugurated in 1882 but since the 15C this area has been used to sell daily products). This is the place where former Fado singer, the famous Amália Rodrigues was found singing and selling flowers. It still has the fresh products market and a renewed art-nouveu building, place to drink the famous hot chocolate and see some expositions. This market also has a fish restaurant and a bar with live Portuguese music. Cais do Sodré is also very close to the funicular Bica (please see 14 for Bicas’ description). The nearest airport is Lisbon International Airport, which is 12 kilometres away. Come and see for yourself! You check the location in the following map:
