Hotels in Portugal

For such a small country, Portugal packs a lot to offer. Many hotels in Portugal lie on the south coast in The Algarve, across the cities of Lagos, Faro and Portimão amongst others, known for its climate, beaches and thriving tourism boom offering parks, shopping and wonderful nightlife. Have a look at Bura Surfhouse in Lagos as a great example of the south coastal accommodations. Lisbon and Porto should most definitely be on the list when booking Portugal Hotels, ticking every box that a European city should, offering warm, bustling streets with history, art and great architecture at every corner. Public transport in Lisbon, Porto and most other cities across Portugal is good, well connected and affordable, usually including buses, trains, metro and trams. Driving in Portugal is the most common transportation, as the roads are well maintained and connected across the country.

Most venture to Portugal for its nature. Hiking and trekking through its National Parks, surfing at its beaches or sailing amongst the islands. Mountains, vineyards, and forests are scattered across the country, and any nature lover will be hard pressed to choose where to start. The capital of Lisbon holds some significant historical structures such as St. George's Castle and Jerónimos Monastery, as well as it’s Oceanarium. Tesouro da Baixa by Shiadu is a great example of cheap hotels in Portugal with great value, right in the heart of Lisbon and nearby to transport. Torre de Clérigos is Porto’s standout attraction, and Casa dos Lóios by Shiadu is a fabulous stay right by it and the transit lines, and one to keep in mind when you book hotels in Portugal.

The nightlife is vivid in most areas of Portugal as most European countries tend to be, though the capital of Lisbon and the south coast tend to offer the most bustling scenes at night for tourists. Lisbon and Porto both offer a collection of nightclubs and VIP beach bars, and restaurants and cafes will accommodate dining and drinking long into the night. Moonlight tours and dancing under the stars are the kind of evenings you can expect to enjoy in Lisbon or Porto. To centre yourself in the thick of it in Lisbon, Vincci Baixa is a great option. Almost anywhere on the coast in the Algarve offers much of the same feel, with the added beachside vibe.

The capital of Lisbon and Porto to the north offer endless sights for lovers of history and art, with both cities built on and around history itself, the most striking features of each city being buildings and monuments of awe overlooking the cities. Both cities offer endless museums with both classic and modern art, with some notable must-sees in Lisbon, such as The National Tile Museum and The Berardo Collection Museum. Porto hosts the mouth of Douro River, and exploring some of the city’s many bridges is a must-do activity.
