Why we love it
The setting
Over in Lapa — the Lisbon quarter known for museums and antique dealers — you'll find As Janelas Verdes Inn. Set in an 18th-century mansion, the hotel keeps its period bones — high ceilings, tall windows. From upper floors and the terrace you can look out across the Tagus river. It is a quiet pocket of the city, set back from the heavier foot traffic but close enough to walk to the waterfront.
What to expect
The building has 29 rooms across three floors, each furnished in a classic style with antique pieces and a private bathroom. A Standard Double room gives a couple roughly 15 square metres with a full double bed, air conditioning and a bathtub. There is a small reading library, a courtyard garden where breakfast is served in warm weather, and a top-floor terrace with river views. Breakfast is a buffet with hot and cold options that you can add when you book.
Things to do nearby
The National Museum of Ancient Art is the closest draw at about 150 metres, holding Portugal's national collection of paintings and decorative art. A short walk takes you to A Barraca Theatre and the Puppet Museum. The riverside promenade runs nearby, and from there it is roughly 2 km along the water to Cais do Sodre and the older parts of central Lisbon. Trams and trains make the rest of the city easy to reach.
Best for
Couples who want a calm base with character rather than a big modern hotel. It suits travellers who plan to spend time in Lisbon's museums and along the river, and who like the idea of a garden courtyard and a quiet street within walking distance of the centre.

A week, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Lapa and the museum
Settle into the mansion and take in the Lapa neighbourhood on foot. The National Museum of Ancient Art is a few minutes away, so you can spend an unhurried first afternoon with the collection before walking down to the river for the evening.
Central squares and river
Head into central Lisbon by tram or train along the Tagus. Wander Rossio and Commerce squares, then make your way back for breakfast in the courtyard garden the next morning and a last look from the terrace before checking out.
