Hotels in Lisbon, Portugal

The capital of Portugal, Lisbon is famous for its best-known seafaring forefather, Vasco de Gama as well as for its castles and tavernas.

Places to see while here should include the architecturally rich area of Old Lisbon. Cobbled streets, dark corners and mysterious doorways, old Lisbon is a sightseers paradise. Visit the Monastery of Jeronimos and the Castle of Saint George and discover the early heritage of this dramatic region.

With its early beginnings in sea voyages, Lisbon celebrates its forefather Vasco de Gama and the nation's early trading prosperity at many a turn. For an in-depth history of the area, seek out Lisbon’s Naval Museum.

When booking accommodation, book near to the attractions that have brought you to Lisbon. Beach resorts are great for water-sport fanatics and sunbathers, while sightseers should book a room in the centre of town where they are near to the sights.
