Bonfim lies just east of the centre, between Batalha and Campanhã station. It is a residential quarter of nineteenth-century townhouses, many of them tiled, that has drawn cafés, studios and small restaurants in recent years without losing its corner groceries.
The Jardim de São Lázaro, laid out in 1834, is the city's oldest public garden; the municipal library and the Faculty of Fine Arts stand beside it. Streets are wider and calmer than in the old town, and rents and prices have long been lower than further west.
Heroísmo and Campo 24 de Agosto stations put Bonfim on five metro lines, two stops from Trindade. Campanhã, the city's main railway station, is at the eastern end of the quarter, so trains to Lisbon, Braga and the Douro valley are close.
