I'm going to Lisbon for a work-related reason but I have decided to extend my stay for an extra day to have a little break, and I am looking for a suitable hotel to book. I'm a 40-something woman and I'm travelling alone but meeting people around Lisbon. I've been to Lisbon once before but with family. One idea I was wondering about is staying in Sintra because I will be getting Ubers to and from the city anyway, but I don't know if it's a nice place to stay (as opposed to just visit) and especially as a lone female? Is it a bit too quiet at night?
Alternatively I could stay in the centre of Lisbon in a nice hotel in a good area for me to stay by myself, pop out and have dinner and walk back etc.
Can anyone recommend a hotel where I would feel comfortable, safe, and not stand out like a sore thumb, and feel comfortable to do things like go out for dinner by myself?
