Hotels in Lisbon Region, Portugal

Lisbon Region is the coastal heart of Portugal, with a Mediterranean climate that gives you mild winters (around 50°F / 10°C) perfect for wandering through Alfama's cobblestone alleys and tasting pastéis de nata at Belém's 1837 bakery, and warm summers (up to 82°F / 28°C) ideal for sunbathing at Carcavelos Beach or riding Tram 28 up the city's steep hills. You can hear live Fado music in a Moorish-era tavern in Mouraria-the genre born from 19th-century sailors' laments-while winter months bring cheaper hotel rates and fewer tourists at the Jerónimos Monastery. For a distinct change of pace, head to the modern Parque das Nações district, built for Expo '98, where you can ride the 423-foot Vasco da Gama Bridge or explore the Oceanário's 15,000-sea-creature tanks.
