Lisboa e Sintra
Where to stayIn 2026, Lisbon established itself as one of Europe's most vibrant destinations, with stricter regulations for Local Accommodation (AL), which increased the quality of the remaining properties.
Lisbon:
- Chiado/Baixa: Ideal for those who want to be in the center of the action, close to the main monuments and restaurants. It is the most touristic and busy area.
- Príncipe Real: The "cool" neighborhood of Lisbon. Perfect for those looking for design boutiques, concept cafes, and a cosmopolitan yet quieter atmosphere than Baixa.
- Alfama: Charming and historical. Recommended for those who don't mind hills and want to experience traditional Lisbon, while staying close to St. George's Castle.
- Avenida da Liberdade: The epicenter of luxury. 5-star hotels, high-fashion stores, and easy access to the metro.
Sintra:
- Historic Center (Vila de Sintra): Ideal for short stays of 1 to 2 days, allowing walking access to the National Palace and the start of the trails to the Moorish Castle.
- Surroundings (Sintra - Vila): Hotels in renovated estates or mansions in the outskirts offer an immersive experience in the romanticism of Sintra, away from the massive flow of tourists during the day.
