Apartment T2 in Lisboa with virtual tour

Charming 2-Bedroom Apartment with Tagus River Views | Rua das Trinas, Estrela

85 sqm | 2nd floor, no lift | Unobstructed views over the Tagus | Dual east-west orientation | €459,000

In Estrela, in the historic heart of Madragoa, Rua das Trinas retains the tranquillity and genuine atmosphere of a traditional Lisbon neighbourhood, in a privileged location between São Bento, Santos and the Tagus River.

It is here that we find this charming 2-bedroom apartment, offering 85 sqm of private gross area, characterised by abundant natural light, generous proportions and original period features that preserve the charm of traditional Lisbon architecture.

The apartment

According to the property's official tax records, the apartment is registered as a four-room property and is currently configured as a 2-bedroom apartment, following the reconfiguration of its original layout. It may be adapted back to a 3-bedroom configuration, according to the needs and plans of its future owner.

The dual east-west orientation, with the two bedrooms positioned at opposite ends of the apartment, allows for excellent natural light throughout the day.

• Living room and kitchen in an open-plan layout
• En-suite bedroom facing east
• Second bedroom facing west
• Two bathrooms
• Dual east-west orientation
• Lateral, unobstructed views over the Tagus River
• Generous ceiling height
• Traditional wooden floorboards
• Original interior wooden shutters
• Double-glazed windows

Facing west, the river views and late-afternoon light create a particularly special atmosphere — the Tagus as an everyday backdrop, bathed in the warm light of sunset.

A home with history

This is an apartment where its architectural character has not been erased in favour of an indistinct modern renovation.

The generous ceiling height, traditional wooden floorboards and original interior wooden shutters preserve the identity of the property, creating a romantic and timeless atmosphere.

It is a particularly appealing combination of historic features and contemporary comfort, while retaining the distinctive character of Lisbon's traditional residential buildings.

Living on a true neighbourhood street
One of the great charms of Rua das Trinas is precisely its human scale and genuine neighbourhood atmosphere.

Small local businesses and traditional establishments remain part of everyday life here — from the local café to the neighbourhood hairdresser — while the surrounding streets offer grocery shops, independent businesses, restaurants, cafés and everyday services.

The area is also rich in historical heritage.

Directly opposite the apartment is the former Convent of Trinas do Mocambo, now home to the Portuguese Navy's Hydrographic Institute. Nearby, the former Bernardas Convent, now home to the Puppet Museum, adds another remarkable historical landmark to the neighbourhood.

At one end of Rua das Trinas stands the French Embassy, while the Clube de Jornalistas is located at the other end.

This is a part of Lisbon where the city's history remains very much present in everyday life.

Between Estrela and the Tagus River

The location of Rua das Trinas allows you to experience very different sides of Lisbon within minutes of one another.

To the north, Estrela and São Bento, with the Jardim da Estrela, traditional shops and a peaceful residential atmosphere.

To the south, Santos and the Tagus, with the riverside, restaurants, cultural venues and a more cosmopolitan urban lifestyle.

The National Museum of Ancient Art is also approximately a 10-minute walk away, one of Lisbon's most important cultural institutions.

Transport and connections

The property benefits from convenient access to Lisbon's public transport network:

• Tram 25 and buses nearby, on Rua de São João da Mata
• Cais do Sodré within easy reach, offering Metro, train, ferry and bus connections
• Future Santos Metro station, currently under construction and scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027

This location provides convenient connections to central Lisbon and the wider metropolitan area.
