Holiday Rentals in Lisboa - A Guide to Lisboa
As you might imagine, Lisbon (or Lisboa) region is centred around the capital city and the estuary of the Tagus River. Holiday rentals in Lisbon can be focussed on the water, the city or the countryside.
The region features many stunning places to see, including the misty hills of Sintra, the lively resorts of Estoril and Cascais, and the picture postcard town of Obidos. A holiday rental in Lisbon can give you all this and you can be as quiet or as lively as you want. In the northern part of the region is the religious shrine of Fatima, an important pilgrimage destination which, thanks to the excellent road and rail network, will be easily accessible from your Lisbon holiday rental.
Also part of Lisbon Region is the peninsula of Setubal linked to the capital by some magnificent bridges. Holiday rentals in Setubal give easy access to the city of Lisbon and the estuary of the Sado river is almost as impressive as that of the Tagus.

Lisboa Useful Information
One of the nicest things about taking a holiday rental in Lisbon is that it is the smallest region in mainland Portugal with probably the greatest variety. So from your Lisbon holiday rental you are never far from something interesting and won’t have to drive for miles every day.
The region actually covers 2567 square kilometers and the population is around the 2.8 million mark. The River Tagus runs north east to south west through the region and holiday rentals in Lisbon which are on the southern side of the river are in much more rural settings than those in the busy coastal and north- western areas.
Lisbon International airport lies just to the north of the city with good road links to the rest of the region and, indeed, the country. You can be in the city in about 15 minutes or on the coast in just under an hour. A holiday rental in Lisbon is perfect either for your first visit to the country or your hundredth.
