Where to stay in Lisbon
Lisbon is a vibrant city with beautiful architecture, numerous churches and castles and an important port. The Baixa district in particular, with its impressive Rossio, attracts many visitors each year and houses some of Lisbon's main attractions. One of the most beautiful parks, the Eduardo VII Park, overlooks the Tagus and the lower town. There are a lot of hotels here but this is a somewhat more expensive area to stay in. It will take some searching and comparing, but hotels in the city centre can still be booked for attractive prices.
Lisbon is busy during the summer and spring and also during the Alive Festival it is difficult to get a room. The festival usually takes place on 10, 11 and 12 July and attracts big names. Book early!
