Delivery area
Arroios: a long avenue and its side streets
Arroios stretches along Avenida Almirante Reis and the streets either side of it, one of the most mixed and densely residential parts of central Lisbon. It has its own metro station and a strong daytime market life around Praça de Londres.
Coverage across the whole city of Lisbon.
This area is part of our tobacco shop delivery in Lisbon.
What the area is like
The avenue as backbone
Avenida Almirante Reis runs straight through the neighbourhood, wide and busy with traffic, with quieter residential streets branching off both sides.
Dense apartment blocks
Most buildings on the side streets are five- or six-floor apartment blocks from the early to mid-20th century, many without a lift.
Praça de Londres and the market
The square and its surrounding streets carry a busy daytime commercial life, with shops and cafés that give the area good street lighting into the evening.
One of the most mixed areas in the city
Arroios has one of Lisbon's most diverse resident populations, visible in the range of grocers, restaurants and community associations along its streets.
Getting around
- Arroios metro station, on the green line, sits right on the avenue.
- Buses run the length of Avenida Almirante Reis day and night, linking Alameda, Anjos and Restauradores.
- The avenue itself is easy for cars; the residential streets behind it are narrower with more parked cars.
- Building numbers on the side streets are generally clear, so an address with the street and number is usually enough.
Typical hours
Daytime
Busy market life around Praça de Londres and constant traffic on the avenue.
Early evening
Restaurants along the avenue and side streets fill up; residential blocks stay lively with people returning home.
Late
The avenue keeps some traffic and bus movement through the night; the side streets go quiet earlier.
At night, 7pm to 5am
The avenue itself is rarely fully quiet, with buses and some traffic running late, which keeps it well lit and easy to find. The residential streets just off it settle earlier, so a flat number and floor help once you're away from Almirante Reis.
How to describe your location here
Give the street name and number plus which side of Avenida Almirante Reis you're on — east towards Anjos or west towards Picoas — since the avenue is the main reference point everyone in the area uses.
