Vacation Rentals in Lisbon

The accommodation offered in Lisbon is mainly vacation rentals and apartments, most of which are located in the centre of the city. Many of the holiday accommodations are also not far from the coast, where you can enjoy the unique view of the port's ships. A little more peace and quiet is offered by the holiday residences located a little outside, either not far from the beaches or in the hills of the city.

There are also vacation rentals within the city area, even in very central location. As these are city villas, most of them have a terrace, but few of them have a garden. But you can enjoy the stunning space offer, the excellent equipment and the perfect location in the holiday home.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. It lies at the mouth of the river Tejo and on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian peninsula. Characteristic is the stepped cityscape, laid out on several hills, which is crossed by deep valley incisions.

The international airport Lisbon-Portela is located about six kilometres north of the city centre. The airport is served by large scheduled aircraft from all over Germany. From there you can take the metro directly to the city centre.

One of the most famous landmarks of Lisbon is the Torre de Belém, a watchtower that was destroyed during Napoleon's invasion but was reconstructed in the middle of the 19th century. Also worth seeing is the Hieronymus Monastery, also known as Mosteiro dos Jerónimos. The building in the Belém district was built in Manueline style. Here you can visit the royal tombs and the tomb of the navigator Vasco da Gama. The Pâtisserie Belém is said to have the best Pastéis de Nata, puff pastry cakes with pudding filling.
