What the area is like
A straight, wide avenue
Avenida Fontes Pereira de Melo runs in a long straight line, which makes numbering predictable but distances longer than they look.
Clinics and offices side by side
The area has a concentration of medical clinics alongside company offices, both usually in blocks with an entryphone panel listing several names.
Quiet residential stretches
Away from the avenue, streets around Picoas metro are mostly apartment buildings from the mid-20th century, with porters in some of the larger ones.
Little night-time trade
There is not much of a bar or restaurant scene here after dark; the area is mostly residential and commercial rather than social.
Getting around
- Picoas metro station, on the yellow line, sits directly under the avenue.
- Saldanha station is a short walk north along the same avenue for the red line.
- The avenue carries steady bus and car traffic even at night, since it is a through route across this part of the city.
- Building numbers run consistently along the avenue, but confirming the nearest side street speeds things up.
Typical hours
Daytime
Clinics and offices keep a steady flow of people from morning to early evening.
Early evening
Traffic on the avenue continues but foot traffic on the pavements drops off as offices close.
Late
The avenue is quiet but never empty, since it remains a route through to other parts of the city.
At night, 7pm to 5am
Picoas has little going on socially after dark, so the streets are calm rather than lively. The avenue itself stays lit and passable all night because it is a through road, even when the buildings alongside it are dark.
