Choosing Back to Lisbon

A Building with Stories to Tell

Back to Lisbon is set in a beautiful renovated building dating back to 1939, right in the heart of São Bento. Over the decades, these walls have seen the city grow and change, and today, they welcome travellers from all over the world.

We’ve carefully restored the building to preserve its charm while adding the comfort and warmth of a modern hostel. High ceilings, natural light, and original character blend with fresh, inviting spaces designed for connection and relaxation.

Step outside and you’re surrounded by Lisbon’s historic streets, tiled façades, and local cafés. Inside, you’ll find a space that feels authentic, welcoming, and full of life, just like the city itself.

Local, Authentic and Welcoming

From local recommendations to shared dinners and social nights, our team is passionate about helping guests experience the real Lisbon. Alongside our main staff, we host volunteers from different countries, creating a multicultural environment and offering support in several languages!

Whether you’re visiting for a few days or staying longer during your trip to Portugal, Back to Lisbon is designed to feel like a home away from home.
