Lisbon: The Perfect Getaway

11/12/2012

Hostels and More in Lisbon

Lisbon has been both flying under the radar and front and centre for travellers recently. While many people have already discovered just how awesome Lisbon is, it continues to lie low in terms of popularity.

Brimming with culture, utterly charming views, seductively melancholy Fado music , delicious eats and design hostels, Lisbon has begun its climb to the top of travellers' must-visit lists. If you still have some vacation days left to use, consider warm, sunny Lisbon for a truly memorable getaway.

Lisbon is an ideal place to explore for a short or extended stay. You can easily be impressed in only a few hours, but you'll want to stay for days. The city is full of tantalising culinary surprises, including its legendary Pasteis de Belem, a must try for anyone visiting Lisbon! With its magnificent viewpoints (honestly, they're everywhere), its curious neighbourhoods, and fun-loving locals, there's a lot to see and do in Lisbon, such as Cais de Sodre, The Praca do Comercio, the Elevedor de Santa Justa, Jardim Zoológico, Belém Tower or Mosteiro de Jeróminos. One of the best ways to get to know a city is to take the Tram 28 and enjoy it!

The best way to learn more about locations and get recommendations for bars, clubs, shops and “secret” places, is to ask the staff in the hostel in Lisbon. They're also handy when you want to get into one of the city's best Fado bars.
