Hotels in Lisbon

Lisbon sits across seven hills on the north bank of the Tagus, and moving between its historic districts is part of what makes the city work as a destination. Alfama keeps its medieval street plan and Fado houses, Baixa follows the grid rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, and Avenida da Liberdade runs wide and tree-lined toward the newer business district. Chiado adds shopping and theatres between the two. Miradouros like Santa Luzia and São Pedro de Alcântara give free views over the rooftops and the river, and the number 28 tram still climbs some of the steepest routes. Hotels range from restored palaces in Lapa to modern towers near Parque das Nações, so the right base in Lisbon depends more on which version of the city you want each morning than on star rating alone.
