Your Stay in Lisbon
Boasting balmy winters and cool summers, Lisbon is a modern welcoming city offering rich picturesque vistas and unique sites. The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in 1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with over 20 centuries of history. Lisbon is known as the White City, thanks to its unique luminosity. With its typical tiled facades and narrow Medieval streets resonant with strains of Fado, the city is an ideal destination for a holiday and a perfect host for conferences. Lisbon is a short flight from most European cities and is easily accessible by train, car or boat.
The Lisbon Congress Centre, located on the banks of the Tagus River, is a short walk from Belém, one of the most historical parts of the city. It is a few minutes away from the city centre, in an area well served by public transportation. There is a fast tram which directly connects downtown (“Praça da Figueira”) to the Congress Centre. The large entrance hall is the heart of the Congress venue. The Congress Centre is a functional building, with easily accessible auditoriums, halls and meeting rooms. A restaurant and coffee/sandwich bars are available on site, plus many more in the surrounding area.
