Unforgettable Weekend in Lisbon at 9Hotel Mercy
Welcome to Lisbon: your arrival in the heart of Portugal
Lisbon is a city that reveals itself while keeping enough mystery to spark the curiosity of travelers and tourists. Nestled in the wide estuary of the Tagus River, the city rises above the river and ocean from its steep hills. Curled upon itself for natural protection, yet open to the world, you immediately understand upon arriving in Lisbon why the Portuguese people were among the greatest navigators and explorers in the world. The Atlantic Ocean stretching out at the city’s feet awakens the spirit and stirs the imagination. One already dreams of hoisting the sails and sailing beyond the horizon. But first, let yourself get lost in the winding streets and begin discovering this magnificent European capital.
Transfer from the airport: first step to adventure
Your adventure will most likely begin at the airport. Lisbon’s international airport is conveniently located just 7 kilometers from the city center. Though older, it has two terminals and is well connected by taxi, Aerobus, and the red metro line. It takes no more than 20 minutes to reach downtown.
To reach the 9Hotel Mercy from Humberto Delgado Airport via public transport, the fastest way is to take the metro, transfer at Alameda, and get off at Rossio station — less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Alternatively, a taxi is faster and reasonably priced.
