Delivery area
Telheiras: wide blocks and gated entrances
Telheiras was built up mostly from the 1990s onward as a planned residential area north of the Segunda Circular. Streets are wide, blocks are large, and most buildings have a gate before the front door.
Coverage across the whole city of Lisbon.
This area is part of our tobacco shop delivery in Lisbon.
What the area is like
A planned grid, not an old bairro
Unlike central Lisbon, Telheiras was designed as a whole in recent decades, so blocks are regular, set back from the street and often share a private access road.
Gates and entryphones
Many buildings sit behind a condominium gate with an entryphone panel, so the flat number on its own is not enough — the building or lote number matters too.
Alameda das Linhas de Torres as a spine
This long avenue runs along the edge of the neighbourhood and is the easiest fixed reference when giving directions here.
Quiet outside office hours
There is a business park nearby that is busy on weekdays, but the residential streets themselves are calm in the evening.
Getting around
- Telheiras metro station, on the blue line, sits at the southern edge of the neighbourhood.
- The Segunda Circular runs just south of the area, which makes it a quick point of reference for anyone arriving by car.
- Internal roads are wide with parking on both sides, and several condominiums have their own numbered access lanes off the main streets.
- Building entrances are often set back behind small gardens, so they are less visible from the road than in older parts of the city.
Typical hours
Daytime
Steady movement around the metro station and the business park.
Early evening
Residents return home; the streets are calm rather than busy.
Late
A quiet, mainly residential area at night, with little pedestrian traffic after midnight.
At night, 7pm to 5am
Telheiras is residential and quiet at night. Streets are well lit and easy to drive through, but finding a specific door depends on knowing the building or lote number, since several blocks look alike behind their gates.
How to describe your location here
Give the street name together with the building or lote number and, if there is one, the gate code or entryphone name — that is more useful here than the flat number alone.
How delivery works here
Send us the street, building or lote number and any gate code by WhatsApp. We confirm the details before setting off, since many entrances in Telheiras are not visible from the road.

Questions about Telheiras

- Yes, Telheiras station is a clear, well-known landmark at the edge of the neighbourhood if your building is hard to describe.
- Is the area busy late at night?
- No, it is a mainly residential area and stays quiet through the night.
