Lisbon: affordable start and a royal finish

Start with two affordable nights and end at Pestana Palace, a historic retreat surrounded by greenery, style and calm.

From cobblestone life to royal splendor – Lisbon your way

Lisbon is not just a city – it's a feeling. A warm, colorful, fragrant movement of sound, light, and soul. Here, sea breeze meets fado song, white tile facades meet colorful laundry lines, and cobblestone streets wind through time and temperament. And why choose between genuine and extravagant, when you can have both?

First: Stay in the heart of vibrant Lisbon

Start your stay with two nights at an affordable hotel in central Lisbon like Alfama, Graça or Bairro Alto – where the city's soul vibrates the most. Wake up to the sound of church bells and trams, have a coffee at a sunny corner table, let yourself wander among viewpoints, small bakeries, and unexpected guitar tones.

Here you live like a local, but experience like a dreamer. It's simple, relaxed, and authentic – Lisbon up close.

The Finale: Pestana Palace – a step into another world

After days filled with Lisbon’s energy and discoveries, there’s something special about arriving at Pestana Palace Lisboa Hotel & National Monument. Here, the sounds of the city are replaced by leafy gardens, beautifully decorated salons and an atmosphere that instantly slows everything down.

Pestana Palace is one of Lisbon’s best-preserved palaces, classified as a national monument. Inside, you’ll find elegant rooms, high ceilings, period details and long corridors that feel more like a private residence than a hotel.

The gardens are wrapped in tropical plants and quiet corners where you can relax with a glass of wine. There’s also a spa, pools and peaceful lounges where you can begin or end your evening in complete calm.

It’s a gentle kind of luxury – warm, personal and never imposing. A place where time stretches out, and where every moment feels a little more special. The perfect way to end your stay in Lisbon.

Lisbon, poetic and magnificent

You don't have to live in a palace all the way. But to finish in one – where reality feels a little more like a movie than everyday life – that's something completely different. With this trip, you get the best of Lisbon: first the local, vibrant, and down-to-earth. Then the grand, fairy-tale-like, and almost unrealistically beautiful.

So, when are you booking your place in the palace?
