Hi peregrinos, I would appreciated a tip of where to stay in Lisbon, I will arriving in the city on the 3rd of May and somewhere not to expensive for a peregrino, thank you.

Greetings, Ernesto!
I'm sure you'll get some recommendations from other members of the Forum.
All I can say is DON'T stay in the 'hotel Miratejo' in Santa Iria above the restaurant, some 12 kms north of Lisbon.
I hope you have a super Pilgrimage.
Buen camino!

Last November myself and my husband stayed in Pousada de Juventude , Parque das Nacoes near Muscovide . We paid 38 euro for a twin room ensuite including breakfast buffet . We had arrived early in the morning and walked from the airport downhill to the hostel which took us approx 40 mins. After checking in we got a bus into the city ( could have got train either ) and spent a couple of hours exploring the city. Then we got our first sello at the Cathedral and walked following the camino arrows back to parque das Nacoes and to our Hostal , which was 10k or 6 miles. Plenty of places to eat/ drink in the area and an Irish bar at the waterside ! Next morning we started walking again from the arrows in Parque das Nacoes with lovely views of water for most of the day.

Than you camino_rooky for your useful information, after your precise information, I can imagine doing nearly exactly that, (no bus or train for me, walk will be a nice way to warm up before my actual start). I am thinking to stay a couple of day in Lisbon as I wan't be back afterwards and the Town looks very, very interesting.

I think camino_rooky's idea is a great one for people who are not going to spend a few days in Lisbon. But since you are planning of a couple of days in Lisbon I think you would much prefer staying in the center of town rather than 8km out at Parque Nacoes. It's an easy metro ride out and back, but staying in old Lisbon is special.

What kind of place are you interested in, Ernesto? Youth hostel? Pensao with private or shared bath? Small hotel? Splurge? With more info, I can give you some suggestions. Bom Caminho, Laurie

Hi Laurie, well, I am a peregrino after all and if there is a choice a decent hostel would be fine for me thank you

 

[peregrina2000]

Maybe you're a more tolerant peregrino than I am, but I personally would not want to go to any of the youth hostels in Lisbon. There are some that are very nice, but I think the college party crowd's interests are likely to be different from peregrinos' interests. If you want shared bunks in a dorm room, I think the best bet is the albergue juvenil that rooky recommends, the Pousada de Juventude in Moscavide near Parque Nacoes. That one is far enough away from the center that it probably won't have the standard college crowds.

But if you want something like a pensión (called pensao or residencial in Portuguese), I would recommend looking at the following places. I haven't stayed in any of them but I scrolled through the low price options in Lisbon looking for things that were not youth hostels but had private rooms, none more than 25 €. All are well reviewed on booking.com

http://pensaoduque.wix.com/henry Near the ferry terminal, well connected, not the most atmospheric part of Lisbon

http://www.pensaoprata.net/v1/ Extremely central, well rated, in the Baixa area close to subway and the hearts of old Lisbon

http://pensao-elegante.lisbon-hotel.net/en/ good location but a little further from the core of the oldest parts of Lisbon

You should hold off on calling it a "wise suggestion" till you have spent the night there. Let us know how it goes!

I will be in Lisbon the week before you, too bad we won't be able to meet up. Bom Caminho, Laurie

Hi Laurie.

Yes is this restaurant (may 2014). I usually go there for lunch often.
One of the employees (Paulo Almeida, is fado singer).
Beijinhos (little kisses with love).

Well, now I can add my own personal endorsement. There are so many little cafes in Lisbon that are hard to distinguish, but being led to this one was a real treat. Family owned, crowds of local people eating. The pasteis de nata were fabulous. Looks like a great combo of place to stay across the street from place to eat.

I am arriving on the 6th April and will try these super recommendations and will let you know how I get on, Thanks a million. Una

 

[Maya Amanecer 2015]

I am arriving in Lisbon on April 14th and will need to sleep some before starting the camino. I may look for a place near the Central Lisbon, to acclimate for a day or so. Then I may stay at the Pousada de Juventude if I can walk only a little the next day. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Does anyone have any thoughts about starting the camino on a weekday vs. a weekend day?

When I stayed in Lisbon for two nights in April 2014 my walking camiga had rented a tiny AirBnB apartment in the old quarter. Very basic but a great base for exploring.
