About Lisbon
LISBON is the capital of Portugal, the westernmost country of Europe, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Spain.
Portugal has a rich culture echoed in its flamboyant folklore, the Fado, differentiated architecture, including its dazzling tiles and sidewalks, distinct painting and literature references... A contemporary, cosmopolitan, and entrepreneurial country that excels without overlooking the importance of hospitality.
Its capital Lisbon, true to form, is a historical city full of stories to tell, intermixed with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation, flanked by seven hills that extend to the vast Tagus estuary.
The sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15ºC. It is the perfect city for the most demanding events: sunny, full of movement and interesting things to do, offering excellent venues and hotels.
A Smart City
Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, has a smart city strategy which sets the citizens and their needs at its core. Technology is just a means to an end: the city aims to become smart, sustainable, competitive, participatory, creative, innovative and citizen-centric. In becoming smarter, Lisbon’s main objectives include attracting more people to the city by promoting energy efficient housing, e-mobility, smart living and smart ageing solutions. All of Lisbon’s activities aim to contribute to a better quality of life in the city, through greater energy efficiency, mobility and improved social cohesion.
