This year, we welcome you to Lisbon!
Discover Lisbon, a city full of authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation.
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and lies on the north bank of the Tejo Estuary, on the European Atlantic coast. It’s the biggest city in Portugal and the most occidental capital of Europe.Lisbon has the most pleasant climate, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15ºC. The mild to warm temperatures in the Summer are an open invitation for a walk by the river, or to spend an afternoon in one of the many street cafés and belvederes to be found all over the city.
