Tips for accommodation in Lisbon. How to choose the location of the hotel?
One of the most touristy districts in the city is considered to be Baixa, where there are plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants. The historic center of the city was renovated in the 18th century after an earthquake that took place in 1755. Be sure to visit the Livraria Bertrand bookstore, the vibrant Comercio square, and the small railway station Rossio.
For hiking enthusiasts, rooms are offered in the Bairro Alto district. Here you can take a walk along the hilly streets in search of the unique menu of local cuisine, unusual tattoo parlors, as well as hip hostels. In many apartments, a large number of historic attractions have been preserved to this day.
The great roads of the Alfama district enchant with endless labyrinths. When staying here, guests of the city will get acquainted with the oldest urban architecture. When booking a tour in this unusual place, tourists can visit the extraordinary viewpoint, delve into the history of Saint George’s Castle, and enjoy delicious dishes at the famous Portas do Sol bar.
Príncipe Real is a quiet residential district, whose atmosphere is created for those who love calm relaxation. There are park and walking areas here, as well as luxurious architectural buildings.
Also, for tourists who enjoy jogging and walking with pets, it is recommended to book hotels in the Parque das Nações district. The location stretches along the river and includes many bars, cafés, clubs, restaurants, and offices, as well as an oceanarium and the Oriente train station.
For those who arrive in Portugal for shopping, the Avenida da Liberdade district is recommended. Above the location there are fantastic hotels, brand malls, and the Hard Rock restaurant. The area is considered environmentally clean due to a large number of trees.
Tourists who are not afraid to walk along the narrowest street in the world can book a room in the old district of Lisbon — Avenida da Liberdade. Here an amazing view opens up over the Tajo River and unique architectural monuments, such as the Saint Vicente church and the National Pantheon.
You can explore the city’s ancient history in the Mouraria district, which, due to its geographic location, is somewhat hidden from tourists.
Comfortable hotels are located in the Cais do Sodré district. A lot of young people gather here, visiting Time Out Market, one of the main food courts in the city’s Mercado da Ribeira.

Lisbon Attractions
The attractions of the Portuguese capital are too numerous, therefore we will describe a few basic ones.
Belém Tower
For example, the fortified construction — Belém Tower, located on an island, in the waters of the Tagus River. A 35-meter building, whose architecture is in the Moorish style, was built in 1521 and represents part of the guard complex to protect the port. Since 1983 the tower is considered a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Palaces and castles
Portugal is considered the country of palaces and castles. Rarely, during one visit, it is possible to see all the royal residences. Among them — the Ajuda National Palace. It is also worth mentioning the Moorish Palace, built in the IX-X centuries of our era.
Zoo
A current place for adults and children — the zoo. In a few hours you can see mammals, birds, amphibians, and others. Special attention is drawn by the inhabitants of the deep sea — dolphins and seals. At certain hours they can be fed, but under the supervision of the zoologist.
25 de Abril Bridge
The 25 de Abril Bridge is a suspended construction that connects the banks of the Tagus River. The bridge consists of 6 road lanes, access to which is granted only to automobiles and trains. On an 80-meter support there is a viewpoint Pilar 7.
Lisbon Aqueduct
Pay attention also to the aqueduct in Lisbon, built to transport water to the Portuguese capital. This construction stands on columns above the Alcântara valley. The most monumental part of the complex consists of 109 arches, with a height of 65 meters, with a total length of 18 km.
