Olivais: planned blocks between green spaces
Olivais was planned as a whole in the 1950s and 60s: residential blocks set among lawns and trees, with the airport on one side and Parque das Nações on the other.
Coverage across the whole city of Lisbon.
This area is part of our tobacco shop delivery in Lisbon.
What the area is like
Buildings set back from the road
Blocks sit inside green space rather than on the street line, so the door is often not visible from the car.
Olivais Norte and Sul
Two planned halves with different layouts; saying which one you are in matters.
Lots of green
Lawns, paths and trees between the blocks, with pedestrian routes that cars cannot follow.
Airport nearby
The airport edge shapes the road network and the traffic patterns on the west side.
Getting around
- Olivais, Chelas, Moscavide and Encarnação stations on the red metro line serve different parts.
- Wide roads and easy car access, with space to stop.
- The last stretch to a door is often on a pedestrian path across grass.
- Block and entrance numbers are the practical address, not the street alone.
Typical hours
Daytime
Residential movement, schools and airport traffic on the edges.
Evening
Quiet; local restaurants and cafés around the small centres.
Late
Very quiet, with paths between the blocks poorly lit in places.
At night, 7pm to 5am
Driving in is easy; finding the right entrance among identical blocks at 2am is the slow part. The block number, the entrance letter and the floor together make the difference.

Questions about Olivais
- Why are Olivais addresses confusing?
- The blocks stand inside green space rather than along the street, so the visible street name does not lead straight to a door.
- Which metro stations serve Olivais?
- Olivais, Chelas, Moscavide and Encarnação on the red line, depending on which part you are in.
- Is it easy to reach by car?
- Yes, the roads are wide with space to stop. The walk from the road to the door is the variable part.
