Second Home Mercado sits on the first floor of Lisbon's iconic Mercado de Ribeira — better known as the Time Out Market — turning one of the city's most storied buildings into a genuinely design-led workspace. Conceived by Spanish architecture practice Selgas Cano and part of the internationally acclaimed Second Home brand, the space is filled with natural light, over a thousand living plants, and an eclectic collection of mid-century furniture that makes every desk feel considered rather than corporate. The community here leans toward freelancers, local startups, and creative professionals who actually put down roots in Lisbon — not a transient drop-in crowd. Members get access to meeting rooms, a reception desk, free coffee, event spaces, and high-speed Wi-Fi, all steps from the Tagus riverfront. On Fridays, happy hour and live music turn the workday into something worth staying for. Step-free access and a lift make the space fully accessible.
This workspace is easy to reach via a variety of public transport connections.
Workspace is known for very modern architecture and interiour design
This place is known for having a supportive startup and freelancer community.
1o Avenida 24 de Julho, 1200-479, Lisbon, Portugal
Second Home Mercado occupies the first floor of Mercado de Ribeira, right on Avenida 24 de Julho in Lisbon's riverside Cais do Sodré district. The building sits at a genuine crossroads of the city: the Tagus riverfront and its broad esplanade are immediately adjacent, while the neighbourhood's bars, restaurants, and cultural landmarks fill the surrounding streets. Cais do Sodré metro station (Green and Blue lines) is a two-minute walk, and tram 15E — connecting Belém and the wider waterfront — stops directly outside. Multiple bus lines converge here too, making every corner of Lisbon easy to reach. The famous Pink Street (Rua Nova do Carvalho), known for Lisbon's most concentrated nightlife strip, is just around the corner — handy context for after-work plans. Santos and Chiado are both walkable, giving members a full spread of lunch spots, cafés, and cultural venues within easy reach.
Located on the first floor (1º andar) of Mercado de Ribeira, Avenida 24 de Julho 1, 1200-479 Lisbon. Enter via the main market building entrance and proceed to the upper floor. The venue is accessible by lift. Well served by public transport — the Cais do Sodré metro station (Green and Blue lines), tram 15E, and multiple bus lines are within walking distance. Street parking is available nearby along Avenida 24 de Julho, though spaces can be limited.
Second Home Mercado in Lisboa is open 24 hours a day, giving members around-the-clock access to the workspace. Reception staffing hours may vary — contact the venue directly for staffed-desk times.
Review summary
Second Home Mercado stands out for its distinctive plant-filled, organic aesthetic and vibrant working community. Reviewers frequently praise the friendly, caring staff — with Catarina, Olsa, and Filipa singled out by name — and the excellent riverside location near Lisbon's Mercado da Ribeira. Fast Wi-Fi, mid-century furniture, dedicated quiet zones, and regular social events including Friday cocktails contribute to a strong member experience. Recurring criticisms focus on the high cost of day passes and rigid access rules around guests and meeting room bookings. A handful of reviewers also note that ventilation is inadequate during summer months.
Members most consistently praise Light & space, Staff & service, and Atmosphere. The most-raised point to know about is Staff & service.

Nice space, but absurdly expensive for short term passes. I’d recommend working from cafes or The Community for more affordable options.

My experience in second home Lisbon was flawless, nothing to point out. The plants were the reason I wanted to come here and the rest also met my expectations. Staff was always friendly. I will come back in the future! Recommended! What would have been nice, like many other coworking places.. is to have 24/7 access. But especially have access on the weekends, I wish this would been a reality.
