The Tagus River and the Sun are symbols of the city, always close by. Lisbon is a mirror of light and color, where natural and architectural beauty are unequivocal.
A thousand years of history runs through unique monuments and typical neighborhoods where the city was born and where it keeps true to its origins. A blend of old and modern is met on the riverside, connecting Belém and Parque das Nações, an area for leisure strolls and gatherings. A city of contrasts, bohemian by night, and serene during the day, with its parks and romantic gardens.
