Lisbon (Lisboa in Portuguese), the capital of Portugal and a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history, is now a magnet for visitors on business or holidays. The combination of a pleasant atmosphere, reasonable prices and modern infrastructures is responsible for Lisbon’s 5th-place ranking in world congress locations.


The City of the Seven Hills spreads along the north bank of the Tagus estuary, only one step away from the Atlantic Ocean. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Lisbon was the hub of the “Age of Discovery”, when Portuguese caravels “gave new worlds to the world”, with its riches persisting to this day.


Lisbon’s many offerings include a delightful climate, blue skies, tiled facades, narrow medieval streets and friendly people. Here one can enjoy delicious food and wines and an exuberant nightlife while listening to Fado, the unique and haunting music of Lisbon. This city of monuments proudly displays the historic Tower of Belém and the nearby stunning Jerónimos Monastery featured in UNESCO’s International Heritage List.


Walk up to the São Jorge Castle for breathtaking views over the river and the hills of Lisbon. Discover vibrant modern Lisbon with its tree-lined boulevards, bustling coffee shops, fine contemporary architecture and stylish residences. Drive to the nearby seaside resorts of Estoril and Cascais or wander through the romantic parks and forests of Sintra.
