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.

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.

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 🇵🇹🇵🇹 !
