The Best Airbnbs in Lisbon

Our pick of Lisbon's top rentals, from the city center to beachside properties.

August 24, 2023

From the cobbled streets in the old town to the bustling nightlife and thriving restaurant scene, Lisbon is one of the most popular destinations for a weekend break or even a longer stay—made easier thanks to the city’s many stunning Airbnbs.

Many flock to Lisbon’s miradouros (or viewpoints) to see the city’s infamous skyline, but if you choose wisely, you can find a stay with a private terrace where you can view the city without the crowds. Or if eating out is your priority, look for something in the neighborhoods of Santa Catarina or Principe Real, where you'll find some of the best restaurants and bars. Whatever your plans for your trip, these are the very best Airbnbs in Lisbon to base yourself.

We've vetted these listings based on Superhost status, ratings, amenities, location, previous guest reviews, and decor.

Rented and reviewed: 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.

The spacious flat has one bedroom, a kitchenette, and a small balcony overlooking the street, making this the ideal spot for people-watchers.

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.

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

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

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)
