Lisbon & Porto Accommodation
26
Hotel Miraparque Heritage Avenida Liberdade Heritage AS Janelas Verdes
Overlooking the Eduardo VII Park in a quiet
area of Lisbon, you’ll enjoy its peaceful green
surroundings. It’s a short walk to the Marquês
De Pombal subway station then it’s only about
5 minutes to the old town with its fantastic
squares. This gorgeous 18th century townhouse is set in
Lisbon’s historic city centre and on the main
avenue - Avenida Liberdade. Redesigned by
Portuguese architect Miguel Câncio Martins,
but still keeping as many original elements
of the building as possible. A great bonus for
Kiwis is the 24 hour tea and coffee station
located in the lobby. In English it’s called ‘Green Windows’. This
charming hotel has a welcoming atmosphere,
a great terrace and fantastic views of the
Tagus River. It’s located next to the National
Art Museum in a quiet area about 20 minutes
walk into town.
Grande Hotel do Porto HF Fenix Porto Pestana Porto
Set in the centre of the commercial part of the

down to the Old Town and waterfront. A
modern hotel with stylish décor throughout.
Mercado do Bom Sucesso is just across the
road - this former food market has been

restaurants and shops. Located in the heart of the historic Old Town
on the banks of the Douro River. Set in a
number of 16th-18th century buildings that

river, take the historic tram to Foz do Douro
or visit one of the Port wine cellars.
