Renting a flat in Lisbon
Lisbon spreads over steep hills above the Tagus, with a large stock of renovated apartments in traditional tiled buildings. Trams, the Metro and ferries link the historic quarters, and many longer-stay visitors base themselves slightly outside the centre for lower rents.
Areas to look at
- Alfama: oldest quarter, winding lanes and river views
- Príncipe Real: leafy, smart and close to Bairro Alto
- Avenidas Novas: modern flats, business district, good Metro
- Alcântara: riverside, quieter and often better value
Local rules
Short-term rentals need a local accommodation (Alojamento Local) registration number, and new registrations have been restricted in several central parishes.
- Lisbon issued no new alojamento local registrations after February 2025. A December 2025 amendment to the municipal regulation keeps new registrations banned in high-pressure parishes and adds a citywide stop once a set ratio is reached. (source, 2025-12)
