Accommodation recommendations for Porto and Lisbon in May?

Hi Murielle, We can't leave a neighbor without an answer [;)]

Since I don’t know your budget, I’m sharing our accommodations in these two cities we visited at the end of the year (a bit off-season, so prices might skyrocket in May ☺). Just a heads-up: in Porto, there’s no elevator, so a few stairs, but the view is amazing! In Lisbon, there’s a breathtaking view of Marquês de Pombal Park, and the metro is right at the bottom of the building.

Thanks, dear neighbor... it’s really beyond our budget but thanks

Hi there,

Lisbon is a trendy destination and has become quite expensive for accommodation, both for tourists and locals who are struggling to find housing. Short-term rentals are everywhere, and in some central neighborhoods, you’ll see more tourists than actual Lisboetas.

There are quite a few well-located Ibis hotels in touristy areas (near the metro, close to a supermarket, etc.), but that might not be what you're looking for.

Otherwise, for lower prices, you’ll need to look further away from the touristy neighborhoods.

Lisbon hardly has a low season anymore, but from April onward, the number of tourists increases until summer, and in May, it’ll already be pretty busy.

Thanks, dear neighbor... Yeah, it’s way over our budget but thanks

I just checked for your dates, and prices are indeed sky-high. I paid a lot less—under 60 €/night in Porto 😊 Good luck with your search, and have a great trip! I loved Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹 !
