Visit Lisbon!
Lisbon is often considered a perfect destination for business events due to its location in the centre of the world – a few hours from the rest of Europe, 1 to 3 hours from major European Capitals and 5 to 8 hours flight from American capitals. Besides, English is the second spoken language (60% of the population can speak English) making it easy to communicate, although Portuguese is the third most widely spoken European language in the world. It is the mother tongue of about 200 million people, and the official language in several African countries and Brasil.
Moreover, our capital has hosted grand historical events and experienced cross culture influences from around the world. All of this turned it into a multicultural and very tolerant city, strongly connected with Africa, Europe and America.
Indeed Lisbon is a privileged access platform to 500 million European consumers, offering modern transport and logistics infrastructures, such as up-to-date railroads and highways, proximity to the ports of Lisbon, Setúbal and Sines and the airport – ten minutes drive from the city’s centre –offering low cost connections to multiple European and transcontinental destinations. Being a capital, Lisbon gathers decision-making centres essential to business development, offers a modern network of technological and communication infrastructures, as well as a wide range of excellent quality product and service suppliers.
It is also unique cultural and leisure destination. Here you will find sophisticated restaurants with memorable esplanades and belvederes, important museum collections, both modern and ancient art galleries, performance centres, modern convention centres equipped with high quality and technology, excellent hotel accommodation facilities and the presence of leading business groups. Also at hand, do not miss the golden beaches at a 15 minutes drive from the city centre and the luxurious green hills just around the corner, along the Estoril coast and in Sintra.
