Alface Hostel

Directions (how to arrive at the hostel):

If you're coming by Metro from either the bus station or the train station, we recommend you to stop in 'Baixa-Chiado' metro station. (Where the Green & Blue Line meet).

From 'Baixa-Chiado' Metro Station: go up to Rua Garrett to Praça Luis de Camões (square with statue), on your 3rd right is Rua do Norte and Nr 98 is the last building on your right. When exit the station do not take the Rua do Ouro exit.


If you're coming by AEROBUS, from the Airport, you have to alight in Rossio or Restauradores or the end of the line, Cais do Sodre. We recommend a quick stop to the tourist information as they know where our hostel is and can point you in the right direction and give you a free city map.

From Rossio, if you are in front to the old theatre, take the street on the left, Calçada do Carmo (Carmo Stairway), from the middle of the square, then start to go up to the first stairs towards Largo do Carmo, (on the right). Then go to Calçada do Duque until Rua da Misericordia then turn left and take the first to the right (Traversa do pouço da cidade). Rua do Norte is the second on the right.
But this is a long way up, so you rather go inside the metro satation Baixa and go up the escalator to Largo de camões and turn right to Rua do Norte and we are at the top on your right... Nº 98

From Restauradores there´s a old tram lift named Elevador da Gloria which departs from Restauradores square and takes you 50 meters from here.

From Cais do Sodre you will see a roundabout in front of you and the river behind you. Take the street off the roundabout 'Rua do Alecrim' straight ahead of you, from there you will reach Praça Luis Camoes. Rua do Norte is on the opposite side of the square.

All 3 options take roughly the same amount of time to get to the hostel from the airport.

Old Traditional Tram: 28 stops at Largo do Chiado, the square close to the Metro Station 'Baixa-Chiado'. It also stops in Praça Luis Camoes.

Bus: Aerobus 91, 44, 45 from Airport to Rossio Square; 208 (Night Bus) from Airport to Rossio.
