Lisbon is more than just the largest city and the capital of Portugal.
Lisbon plays an important part in tourism, economy, media, international trade, and many other aspects of the country.
But what is more, Lisbon is a coastal and hilly city where many dramatic sights of pastel-washed establishments can be laid eyes on.
Here, you can marvel at sites like the pristine waters of Portinho da Arrábida Beach, the medieval tower of Belém, the Moorish castle of São Jorge found atop a hill, the Rua Augusta Arch that promises a breathtaking view of the city center, and the 18th-century Estrela Basilica that is known for its twin bell towers, to name a few.
Now, after a long day’s worth of exploration in the oldest city in Western Europe, where shall you rest your weary self?
Well, I got you all covered with these Lisbon hotels for every wallet! Each accommodation in Lisbon was carefully selected, it has fabulous reviews, and it is located in the city centre!

Lisbon is such a hidden gem!! We stayed at an Airbnb for part of the stay and stayed at Brown’s for the second half. While the Airbnb was definitely in a great location and charming, we couldn’t get over how amazing Brown’s turned out to be. It was worth the splurge.
Best,

Awesome picks for the spring. I live in Portugal. Its still kind of chilly (for us at least here in Lisbon), but we have about 300 sunny days a year, so we can”t complain. My favorite notes for spring are citrus (bergamote, neroli, orange blossom), lavender and vetiver.
