WHERE
TO STAY
Lisbon has the range of accommodation one would
expect to find in a modern European capital.
There is a good choice of hotels in the downtown
Baixa district and along the Avenida da Liberdade,
while the resort towns of Cascais and Estoril provide
a more relaxing alternative to the hustle and bustle
of the city.
Visitors can choose from every type of accommodation,
ranging from a sprawling five-star resort hotel
to the cheapest and most basic pensão.
Apart from the normal selection of star-graded hotels,
it is also possible to stay in a more traditional
type of accommodation such as a privately-owned
manor house where guests are encouraged to eat with
the family, or in an estalagem, a traditional inn-style
establishment.
Alternatively, staying in a state-operated Pousada
allows visitors the chance to sleep in a restored
castle or palace with all modern comforts and conveniences
available.
For campers, the municipal campsite on the edge
of Monsanto Forest Park offers a wide range of facilities
such as a restaurant and swimming pool.
