Brunch with a view of the Tagus

Walking routes from FIL and MEO Arena

Choose the exit used by your event. Riverside routes end at the central stairs; the Rua Comandante Cousteau alternative leads to the rear approach. Confirm open gates and event re-entry rules.

Around five minutes from the FIL riverside entrance

If your event uses the riverside access beside the small roundabout where Avenida da Boa Esperança meets Rua do Bojador, near Torre Vasco da Gama, allow around five minutes on foot to Nina. From the roundabout, follow the waterfront promenade north, then take the broad central stairs between the buildings, as shown on the map. At the top, look for Nina’s terrace by the open white parasols at R. Cais das Naus 2 B.

Coming from MEO Arena? The arena is farther south, beyond the FIL halls. Check the route from the exit you use; the five-minute estimate refers to the riverside access shown on this map. Nina is an independent café outside the event grounds.

Getting here from your hotel, apartment or Oriente

Set R. Cais das Naus 2 B as the destination from your accommodation or the entrance you use at FIL. For public transport, see our Oriente guide. If you have just landed, use the airport guide to plan the complete journey. Tables are offered on arrival, so allow flexibility at busy times.
