In a city as vibrant as Lisbon, it almost doesn’t matter where you stay. Moorish architecture, seductive fado music, and understated tascas advertising chalkboard specials on small plates called petiscos greet travelers around every corner in the historic center. At the same time, trendier areas are chockablock with street art, international and fusion fare, concept boutiques, and wildly eclectic speak-easies. From the downtown drag to quaint, quieter pockets of the city, these Airbnb Lisbon rentals showcase the best of the Portuguese capital, no matter what your dream visit entails.
