Experience a more traditional side of Lisbon with a stay at this contemporary apartment set in history-rich Alfama. Its steep, cobblestoned streets dotted with backstreet cafes are everything you’d imagined Lisbon to be. And there’s a tram outside the apartment when it’s time to explore another corner of the city. While we love the sharp design aesthetics of this home, it may feel a little pared back for some. We also think the compact kitchenette is only really suitable for rustling up breakfast and lighter bites. But with Porto's buzzy restaurants to try out, we suspect you’ll be eating out instead.
