Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: minimalism fans
Area: Chiado
This is one of Lisbon’s loveliest minimal Airbnbs. Raw textures rub up against pastel tones for a muted, understated finish that never feels sparse—it’s a lovely, soothing place to retreat after a hectic day traversing Lisbon’s hills on foot. Take a walk by the nearby riverside before heading off to see all the sights—all the main attractions are easily accessible both by foot and by public transport.
Sleeps: 4
Price: From $408 per night, with a two-night minimum

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: loft living
Area: Chiado
Elegant Chiado, with its wide streets and coffee shop-lined plazas, is where you'll find some of the city’s best boutiques. This upscale apartment certainly merits its location in Lisbon’s chicest neighborhood—small but perfectly formed, and decked out with amenities to rival some of the top hotels, including Coco-Mat mattresses and Costa Nova linens. Flashes of color throughout elevate the interiors into something more special than your average, with lilac checkered tiles in the bathroom, pinky tones on the sofa, and striped curtains bringing in a sense of fun.
Sleeps: 2
Price: From around $307 per night, with a two-night minimum

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: heritage design
Area: Baixa-Chiado
This beautiful 18th-century apartment might be one of the few Airbnbs in Lisbon where the unusual interiors make for a better view than those rooftop vistas. It’s been featured in several architecture magazines, catalogs, and film shoots, thanks to a striking renovation by Studio CASCA. All the original Pombaline features remain—the wooden beams, pretty tiles, doors, and limestone stucco walls—along with a new selection of specially-created furniture bringing in an organic, textural feel. This stay is five floors up and there’s no elevator, but previous guests love the views over the nearby plaza and castle, and there’s a wealth of restaurants and shops nearby.
Sleeps: 6
Price: From around $333 per night, with a three-night minimum stay

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: a Chiado loft with a view
Area: Chiado
Reviewed by Traveler contributor Kaitlyn McInnis, a Montreal-based lifestyle and travel writer, this loft in Lisbon can fit up to five, but worked well for her as a solo traveler: There is one bed on the main floor, where she could catch a glimpse of the outdoor garden, as well as “a compact mezzanine platform accessible by a ladder directly above the bathroom with another made-up bed,” plus a sofa bed. McInnis noted the place is well-equipped with amenities, from the Nespresso to a dishwasher, complimentary pocket Wi-Fi, and welcome chocolates.
Sleeps: 5
Price: From $184 per night (two-night minimum)

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: central location
Area: Cais do Sodre
Cais do Sodre is where you’ll find Lisbon’s main train station (which takes you to the nearby beach town of Cascais), plus the infamous Pink Street, home to some of the city's best nightlife. This Airbnb, then, is located perfectly for first-time visitors to the city who want to be within walking distance of all the main sights. The spacious flat has one bedroom, a kitchenette, and a small balcony overlooking the street, making this the ideal spot for people-watchers. Remote workers will also feel at home, here, thanks to the extra-strong Wi-Fi and ample storage in the flat.
Sleeps: 4

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: views of the city
Area: Rossio
Lisbon is all about the views, hence why the city is home to plenty of incredible rooftop bars. Those who want to make the most of the skyline will opt for an Airbnb with a panoramic lookout of the city’s terra-cotta rooftops and looming castle, and this option in central Rossio fits the bill. With a balcony, separate bedroom, kitchenette, and large bathroom, all housed in a classic Portuguese tiled building, it’s ideal for those who book with aesthetics in mind.

Mariana Garcia Teixeira
Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: your own balcony
Area: Graça
It’s rare to find an Airbnb with a stunning outdoor space, but this property more than fits the bill with its beautifully-designed terrace and uninterrupted city views. The subtly colorful interiors are welcoming and homely, and there’s even a dedicated room for working with excellent Wi-Fi. The neighborhood of Graça is one of the most in-demand for locals thanks to its proximity to the old neighborhood of Alfama and endless bars and restaurants, making this a great area for those who want to live like locals during their trip.

Jose Faria
Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: Portuguese charm
Area: Santa Catarina
Coffee and food lovers will enjoy the area of Santa Catarina, which is home to some of the best cafes in Lisbon. The neighborhood is close to the Time Out Market and surrounding restaurants, so food lovers will be particularly well-placed for dining their way around the city. This Airbnb’s unique features are its main selling point, and we’re charmed by the low Portuguese-style ceilings mixed with modern touches throughout.
Sleeps: 4
Price: From $158 per night (two-night minimum)

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: outdoor areas
Area: Cascais
If you’ve been to Lisbon before and seen the sights, or would rather be by the beach than the city, Cascais could be the area for you. It’s a 40-minute train journey from Cais do Sodre, and the traditional fishing village is a favorite destination for locals seeking a break and travelers who know Lisbon well. This Airbnb is one of the most spacious ones available, with a garden complete and an outdoor dining table. The decor is more chintzy than most Lisbon offerings, but it’s a sweet alternative to many of the modern minimalist offerings in the capital.
Sleeps: 3
Price: From $215 per night (two-night minimum)

Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: space
Area: Principe Real
If the wide, open balcony isn’t enough to make you want to book this Airbnb, the spacious living area should do the trick. Principe Real is one of the trendiest areas in Lisbon with loads of talked-about restaurants, chic bars, and cool hangouts, so this is an ideal place to stay if you want to be amongst the buzz of the city. Previous travelers loved how close the apartment is to nearby gardens and the modern design, but beware that it’s located on the fifth floor of a building with no elevator.
Sleeps: 2
Price: From $147 per night (three-night minimum)

TOMS RITS
Best Airbnb in Lisbon for: beach lovers
Area: Costa da Caparica
Costa da Caparica is one of the best beaches in Lisbon, and is particularly popular with locals. It’s about a 25-minute drive from the city, and the 16-mile stretch of sand still feels relatively free of tourists even in the busiest summer months, so it’s a great alternative to other Portuguese beach destinations such as the Algarve. This Airbnb has everything you could need for a longer stay thanks to its large kitchen and multiple storage options, and it’s right on the beach for those seeking out early morning swims and sunset walks.
Sleeps: 2
Price: From $129 per night (four-night minimum)
