Deciding where to live is a very personal choice – you should always consider several factors like commuting times, rent prices, available services, activities, etc. For example, finding a place to live closer to the campus may be more practical since it will reduce commuting times, but some students might prefer to be closer to the Lisbon or Cascais city center.
If students wish to stay in Lisbon city center, the best areas to stay and commute every day to campus are the areas closest to the Cascais train line (Cais do Sodré, Alcântara, Santos, Belém), or more central areas that are closest to subway stations that can quickly take you to Cais do Sodré (green line) or to Terreiro do Paço (blue line). Check the subway map to have a clear understanding of all the lines.
