LISBON
Boasting an ultra-modern infrastructure and elegant
old-world charm, Lisbon offers a fresh alternative
to the more regular conference and incentive destinations
around the world.
The Portuguese capital exudes an inviting warmth
and geniality that most European capitals have
long-since outgrown. And blessed with appealing
architecture and 3,000 years of history, the city
can compete for any type of MICE event, large
or small.
Lisbon is packed with possibilities for group
activities, both in the city and along the resort
areas of the Estoril Coast. Options include dining
in restored palaces and other historic monuments
such as the imposing Castle of São Jorge
and the 16th-century Jerónimos Monastery
in Belém. Various other venues such as
the Beato Convent and Estufa Fria botanical gardens
also cater for a wide range of corporate functions.
The new FIL exhibition centre located in the heart
of the city’s Park of Nations is a rich legacy
of the Expo ’98 World Exposition. With four
pavilions covering a gross area of 100,000 square-metres,
the centre is on a par with many of the world’s
leading fairgrounds. Meanwhile, on the other side
of town, the Lisbon Congress Centre is currently
being redeveloped for large-scale events of up
to 4,000 delegates.
