Furnished 1-Bedroom Apartment in Campolide

Campolide was once an agricultural area with several estates. Olive trees, orchards and vineyards stretched along the hillside. Today, these hills “hide” a quiet, safe neighborhood, with homes mainly dating from the 1970s. Almost the entire neighborhood consists of buildings, but there is a very interesting area (the Calçada dos Mestres neighborhood) overlooking the Águas Livres Aqueduct, where we find terraced houses with backyards. Young people and elderly families live here. There is the bustle of those who leave in the morning and return at night, but also of those who spend the day here: going to the local grocery store, or even to Amoreiras for other kinds of shopping. Most businesses are concentrated in this center, which was the largest in the city a few years ago. Although it is a quiet neighborhood, all the traffic coming from the city center and heading south or toward the Cascais railway line passes through here (and vice versa in the morning). Those following this route come across the Águas Livres Aqueduct, an emblematic, monumental Lisbon landmark from the 18th century: a complex system for collecting and distributing water to the city. A must-see for anyone unfamiliar with it. It is also important to mention the presence of NOVA University Lisbon, a hub attracting young people to the area, which has consequently helped develop local commerce and services.
