Lisbon became the center of the world commerce, trading spices, Chinese porcelain, exotic animals, exquisite silks, unknown fruits and plants, gold and precious stones but also knowledge, myths, scientific and cultural advances, that still last to this day. It was the first truly global city: cosmopolitan, exotic, multi-ethnic and multicultural, open to the sea, commerce and discovery.

The Visionaire apartments are a contemporary take on a merchants’ house of the XVI century, full with hardwoods, tapestries, printed textiles, tiles and pottery, mixing the Portuguese style with African, Asian and oriental influences. We aim to be a starting point to visit the city,  a window to its diversity and contrasts, and a sanctuary to all those travelers and visionaries that visit Lisbon, as they have for 500 years.

One of the biggest squares in Lisbon, Figueira is surrounded by traditional stores, cafés and ginginha taverns, in walking distance to major monuments and sights such as the Castle, the Cathedral, the Independence palace, Santa Justa Elevator, National Theater, and close to Chiado, Bairro Alto, Alfama and the Tejo river.

Lisbon has been a multicultural, cosmopolitan city since the XVI century, and its diverse sounds and flavours can be experienced in the many Cape Verdean, Mozambican, Brazilian, Goese, Chinese and Indian stores and restaurants in nearby Martim Moniz.

The Visionaire is located just a few meters away from the subway, the 15 and 28 trams, the train station to Sintra, and the bus to the beaches, adding convenience to centrality and making it the perfect choice for the urban dwellers that visit Lisbon.
