LISBON’S
ATTRACTIONS
Many new attractions have opened in the capital
since the Expo ’98 World Exposition, with
the majority located on the event’s grounds
now known as the Parque das Nações.
Chief among these is the Lisbon Oceanarium, a state-of-the-art
building representing the eco-systems of Antarctica,
the Indian Ocean, Atlantic and Pacific.
Prominently situated on a hill overlooking the city’s
downtown district, the Castle of São Jorge
with its spectacular views and multimedia exhibition
is usually the first stop on the capital’s
sightseeing itinerary.
Likewise, the Santa Justa Elevator in the heart
of the Baixa district is a must-see attraction for
every tourist visiting Lisbon.
