Best Castelo holiday apartments

Castelo is a district of Lisbon that takes its name from the castle of Castelo de São Jorge on a hill above the city. In administrative terms, the municipality of Castelo includes, in the narrower sense, the walled area of the extensive castle complex. This is the smallest, but also the oldest municipality in Lisbon, as it was founded as early as 1147. Private apartments in Castelo/Lisbon are particularly popular with many tourists because they offer overnight accommodation in the immediate vicinity of one of the biggest tourist highlights of the Portuguese capital. Many houses, which were built on the castle hill or at its slopes, offer an interesting view over the city and into the further environment. In addition, other tourist destinations within Lisbon can also be easily reached from Castelo. Several lines of the traditional Lisbon tram run right past here, and several bus lines provide connections to many other parts of the city.

Apartments in Castelo/Lisbon: quarters in the heart of the historic old town:

With a private holiday apartment in Castelo, Lisbon, you can be sure of a holiday accommodation on historic ground. The Castelo de São Jorge is one of the landmarks and at the same time one of the most important historical sites in Lisbon. Originally built by the Moors, they lost the castle to Alfons the Conqueror in 1147. In the following centuries it served as a royal castle and the Torre do Tombo was used for the safekeeping of the royal collection of documents. Many parts of the old castle complex are today only preserved as ruins because the earthquake of Lisbon in 1755 also caused considerable destruction in this area. Today, the 6,000 square metre site not only offers architectural monuments worth seeing from different eras, but also spacious green areas where you can take a stroll and enjoy new views of the city and far beyond. Two courts invite you to play domino or boules. Compared to Couchsurfing in Castelo, Lisbon, you are more independent and have more freedom in a private area.
