La propriété — Boho Guesthouse
The Boho Guesthouse in Lisbon’s Príncipe Real district trades on faded-glory charm: high ceilings, patterned tiles and mismatched vintage furniture. It’s a three-star with a five-star location steps from the botanical garden and Bairro Alto nightlife. The lobby doubles as a communal lounge with a honesty bar, attracting solo travellers and couples who want to feel less like a guest and more like a friend crashing in a grand old flat.
Chroniques de Lisbon
Lisbon dates to the Phoenicians, but its golden age came with the Age of Discovery: from here, Vasco da Gama sailed for India and ships returned laden with spices, gold and slaves. The 1755 earthquake levelled much of the city, which the Marquis of Pombal rebuilt with grid-like streets and anti-seismic ‘cage’ buildings—a rare example of 18th-century disaster planning. The 1998 World Expo regenerated the eastern riverside, and today Lisbon blends pastel Pombaline blocks, Moorish Alfama alleys and contemporary architecture like the MAAT museum. It’s a city that wears its bruises openly, but has become a tech and tourism hub in the last decade.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Lisbon →Meilleurs mois
May and October: 22–26°C, long daylight, fewer crowds than summer, and the city’s jacaranda trees in bloom (May) or wine harvest (October).
Peak / Festival surge
June (Festas de Lisboa, especially Santo António on 12–13th) and August (school holidays). Hotel prices can double, and the guesthouse likely hits full occupancy. Streets in Alfama and Bairro Alto fill for the parades, grilled sardines and street parties.
La saison des épaules
Late April and September: temperatures still warm (20–28°C), booking discounts of 20–30% versus August, and fewer queues at Belém Tower or the trams.
Météo & Emballage
July in Lisbon is dry and hot—expect 28°C+ with a cooling Atlantic breeze in the evening. Pack linen or cotton, a sun hat, and one light layer for the windy riverfront.
Briefing de la ville — Lisbon
- The new Blue Line extension of the Lisbon Metro now runs to Santa Apolónia train station, making the eastern part of the city (including the new cruise and ferry connections) easier to reach from the city centre.
- The historic Tram 28 is rerouting this summer due to roadworks on Rua de São Tomé; use Bus 12E as an alternative to reach Alfama.
- Lisbon’s tourist tax has risen to €4 per person, per night in 2026, added to your bill at check-out for stays in city hotels and guesthouses.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Boho Guesthouse, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard. These are high enough to avoid street-level noise and benefit from the building's typical Lisbon tile-fronted courtyard, which is quieter and gets morning light.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor facing the main street. Street noise from trams and late-night foot traffic is noticeable, and these lower floors pick up more vibration from the lift.
Best views
Ask for a room on the 4th or 5th floor with a side view of the São Jorge Castle hill. You'll get rooftops and a sliver of the tower, not just the street.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-5 (top floor) tend to be quietest, especially if you get a courtyard-facing room. The lift stops at 5, so top-floor rooms have no overhead footfall.
🔊 Noise notes
The 28E tram rattles past every 8-12 minutes from 6am. The hotel is on a narrow one-way street, so motorbikes and delivery vans idle below. Weekend evenings, nearby bars spill out until 2am.
Insider tips
1) Request a courtyard-facing room when booking, even if it means a slightly smaller room — the quiet is worth it. 2) The hotel has no dedicated parking; use the nearby Rua da Prata car park and do check-in before 8pm to avoid the night-time street clutter.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales attractions à Lisbon
💡 Start at Miradouro das Portas do Sol for morning light, then walk up to Miradouro da Graça for sunset. Avoid the packed tram 28—walking is faster and free.
💡 Start at Miradouro das Portas do Sol just before sunset for golden light on the rooftops. Avoid the tram 28 route for quieter streets.
💡 Start at the top (Graça) and walk downhill to avoid steep climbs. Best in early morning for fewer crowds.
💡 Skip the paid museum upstairs unless you're keen on religious art. The church itself is free and the main attraction.
💡 Start at the cathedral and walk uphill towards the castle. The best views are free. Avoid trams 12 and 28 at peak times; locals hate the crowds.
💡 Get a super bock from the bar across the street—it's half the price of the kiosk. Bring a blanket as the pavement gets cold by night.
💡 The greenhouse has a small tropical garden and café — cheap coffee and a quiet spot. The park is breezy, so bring a jacket even in summer.
💡 Free entry weekends. Bring a book for the bench under the giant rubber tree at the far end. Closed for lunch (1pm-2pm).
