Lisbon Region Hotels Nearing Full Capacity: Expecting a Surge in Last-Minute Bookings and Diverse Tourist Offerings

Lisbon's hotel industry is booming, with occupancy rates nearing 100% thanks to last-minute bookings. The Lisbon Metropolitan Area, encompassing 18 municipalities, is experiencing a surge in both national and international tourists, particularly from Spain. While Lisbon remains a popular destination, surrounding cities like Almada, known for its urban art and festivals, and Oeiras, gaining recognition for wine tourism, are also seeing significant growth. This regional expansion is attributed to the efforts of local municipalities in promoting attractions beyond Lisbon, offering a diverse range of experiences, including niche products, to cater to a wider audience.
