The Lisbon short-term rental market
Lisbon is Portugal's most visited city, concentrating 19.6% of all national overnight stays 15.7 million in 2024 alone. The municipality recorded an ADR of €154.6, among the three highest in the country alongside Cascais and Loulé.
Unlike seasonal markets, Lisbon operates year-round. The city recorded the lowest seasonality rate among major Portuguese regions (30%) in 2024, meaning consistent demand across all twelve months. Non-residents account for the majority of overnight stays 80%+ in peak months.
The Grande Lisboa region generated 19.8% of total national tourism revenue in 2024 second only to the Algarve. RevPAR reached €106.7, the highest in mainland Portugal, reflecting the strength of the urban short-term rental market.
Regulatory context matters here: Lisbon has introduced containment zones and licensing restrictions since 2023. A professional manager who understands local compliance including RNAL registration, condominium rules, and municipal requirements is essential for any foreign owner.
