The country of Portugal is situated on the Eastern side of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with Spain. As a result, there are plenty of beaches, as well as beautiful countryside. Wine regions that offer some of the world’s up and coming vintages are also located in Portugal. And the cosmopolitan gem of the country is Lisbon. Lisbon makes a great base camp, allowing you to secure lodging, and then explore the city, countryside or beach.
Types of hotel in Lisbon
There are many different types of hotel in Lisbon. Hotels with luxurious suites can be found, as well as smaller hostels and pousadas. Hostels are great for the budget traveller, and pousadas offer a uniquely Portuguese way to lodge. Hostels are, in effect, small motels. You may share a room with someone, or you may not. Many students touring Europe find that staying at a youth hostel is not only cheap, but a great way to meet new friends from all over the world. Pousadas are old style inns, kind of similar to a bed and breakfast. Hospitality and service are the order of the day. Some pousadas are so nice that they can be more expensive than a hotel room!
When booking a place to stay in Lisbon, it does not hurt to use the Internet. Special travel Web sites allow you to choose what type of hotel you prefer, as well as price range. In some cases you can book a pousada or hostel as well. You are also more likely to find good deals, coupled with low fare flights. Packages can even be arranged. Finally, even thought the language spoken is Portuguese, many residents of Lisbon speak English. This is especially true of travel and hospitality workers. So, you need not worry about the language barrier when you stay in Lisbon hotels.
