This means fewer people, more options, and lower prices.&nbsp;<\/p><p>During the high season in July and August, the streets are packed with tourists and temperatures can get into the upper eighties or higher (over 30 degrees Celsius). While it&rsquo;s certainly still possible to enjoy Lisbon in the summer, it can make for a sweaty, stressful, and overpriced vacation.<\/p><p>You can avoid all that by visiting Lisbon in the off-peak season. It&rsquo;s a beautiful city to see in the winter, with mild temperatures, and prices are at their lowest.&nbsp;<\/p><p>That said, the best time to go is May, June, or September. In these shoulder-season months it&rsquo;s warm and sunny enough to spend as much time outside as possible, and maybe even take a day trip to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/devourtours.com\/blog\/lisbon-beaches\/\">Lisbon&rsquo;s nearby beaches<\/a>. Accommodation prices are still relatively low, and avoiding the tourist rush means you&rsquo;ll pay less overall.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_places_to_stay_in_Lisbon_on_a_budget\"><\/span><b>Best places to stay in Lisbon on a budget<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h3><b>Best hostels in Lisbon<\/b><\/h3><figure id=\"attachment_35081\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1210px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/places-to-stay.jpg\" alt=\"Balcony in Lisbon where you can stay on a budget. \" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/places-to-stay.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/places-to-stay-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/places-to-stay-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/places-to-stay-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress-assets-devourtours.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/places-to-stay-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Many of Lisbon&rsquo;s budget hostels come with a balcony.
