The Property — room00 Lisboa Hostel
room00 Lisboa Hostel is a bright, budget-focused spot in the Baixa district, with a social lobby that feels more like a student common room than a hotel reception — mismatched sofas, a pool table, and a self-service bar. It's clean and functional rather than stylish, aimed squarely at young backpackers and groups who want a central crash pad, not quiet luxury. The USP is price and location: you're steps from Rossio Square and the metro, on a pedestrianised street that's buzzing but noisy. If you need sleep before midnight, bring earplugs.
Chronicles of Lisboa
Lisbon was founded as a Phoenician trading post around 1200 BC, later ruled by Romans, Visigoths and Moors before being reconquered by Christians in 1147. The 1755 earthquake and tsunami destroyed most of the city, which was rebuilt in a rational, grid-like plan by the Marquis of Pombal — Baixa's wide streets and uniform buildings are his legacy. The 20th century saw dictatorship, the Carnation Revolution of 1974, and EU membership that transformed the economy. Today, Lisbon is a magnet for digital nomads and tourists, balancing its fado-soul tradition with a modern, startup-driven culture. The tiled facades, seven hills and tram 28 remain its visual trademarks.
Best Time to Visit
Full Lisboa guide →Best months
May, June, September — warm (22-28°C), long daylight, and the big summer crowds of July-August haven't hit or have eased. Festa de Santo António in June adds colour without overwhelming the city.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the peak: temperatures hit 30-35°C, rooms at room00 can double in price from €30 to €65 per night, and the city is packed with European holidaymakers. Key events driving it include summer festivals like NOS Alive (usually July) and general beach season along the Costa da Caparica.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and October are the best budget months: 18-24°C, fewer tourists, and hostel dorm prices drop to around €20-25. Good for sightseeing without queues or heat exhaustion.
Weather & packing
Lisbon's microclimate is drier than nearby Sintra, but July often brings cool Atlantic breezes that drop evening temperatures to 18°C. Pack layers: a light jacket for night, and always a refillable water bottle — the hills and heat dehydrate fast.
Live City Briefing — Lisboa
- Lisbon's new metro extension to the airport (Red Line direct connection) opened in 2024, making the journey from room00 to the terminal about 30 minutes with one change at Alameda.
- The city is introducing a tourist tax increase to €2 per night from June 2025, and a reservation system for popular viewpoints like Miradouro da Graça to manage overtourism.
- Several streets in Baixa are being pedestrianised through a phased scheme, including parts of Rua Augusta, so expect temporary diversions for taxis and deliveries during your stay.

Money & Currency

Use Multibanco ATMs for the best rate; avoid exchange bureaux at the airport or tourist spots—they give poor rates and high fees.
Cards (Visa/Mastercard) and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere, including small shops and cafés; cash is needed only for very small purchases or some markets.
Not expected but appreciated: round up the bill in cafés, leave 5-10% in nicer restaurants, a euro or two for hotel porters, and nothing extra for taxis unless they help with bags.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A short espresso (bica) at any pastelaria costs around €0.70–€1.00, always cheaper than places with table service.
A prato do dia (daily set meal) with soup, main, drink, and coffee in a tasca costs about €7–€10.
A main course in a local restaurant runs €10–€15; for less, get a bifana sandwich or a pastel de nata with coffee.
Find cheap eats at the Mercado de Campo de Ourique or street stalls around Praça de Londres selling snacks like bifanas and croquetes for under €3.
Pingo Doce and Lidl are the common budget supermarkets in this area.
Affordable shopping is at the Colombo shopping centre (walkable) or the Feira da Ladra flea market for second-hand clothes on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
A Viva Viagem card topped with a 24h bus/metro pass costs €6.60 (plus €0.50 for the card); from the airport, take the metro (€1.50 single) or Aerobus for €2.15 one-way.
Eat at lunchtime for cheaper pratos do dia; fill a water bottle at public fountains; buy a reloadable Viva Viagem card instead of paper tickets.
