Lisboa Hostels - Portugal - Hostelling International

Portugal's largest city is also its capital. Although unlike most capital cities, this status has never been granted or confirmed officially. Located by the sea, various invasions have left their mark and the mix of architectural styles is evident from days gone by under Moorish and Roman rule. There are also great stadiums in Lisbon (Sporting and Benfica) where you can attend major football matches and music concerts. When you feel like getting away for the hustle and bustle of Lisbon city life there are sandy beaches only 15km away.
