Local knowledge for Lisbon

Where to stay

Mouraria and Intendente have the densest cluster of budget hostels, both a short walk from the Martim Moniz and Intendente stops on the Green Metro line. Beds here run 10-15 EUR cheaper per night than equivalent places in Alfama, which charges a premium for the castle-hill atmosphere.

Getting around

  • Load a Viva Viagem card with the daily pass (around 6.50 EUR) at any Metro station if you plan more than two trips. It covers Metro, buses, and trams including the 15E to Belém.
  • Avoid Tram 28 as your main way around. It crawls through Alfama at walking pace and the crowds make it a pickpocket hotspot. Walk the flat Baixa riverfront or take the Metro to Terreiro do Paço instead.
  • Tascas in Mouraria and Arroios post a menu do dia at lunch: soup, main, a drink, and sometimes dessert for 8-10 EUR. The same kitchen charges double at dinner.

When to go

November through February has the lowest rates and last-minute availability. July and August push hostel beds 40-60% above the annual average, and June weekends book out weeks in advance.
