Lisbon

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is one of Europe’s oldest cities. Founded by the Phoenicians and later conquered by Romans and Moors, it grew into an idmportant trade hub. After the devastating 1755 earthquake, the city was rebuilt with wide boulevards and impressive squares. This rich history is still felt in neighborhoods like Alfama and Bairro Alto.

Today, Lisbon is buzzing with energy. With around 500,000 residents and 2.8 million in the metropolitan area, the city attracts tourists, digital nomads, and entrepreneurs. The mix of tradition and modernity creates a dynamic atmosphere filled with festivals and events.

Each district, from chic Chiado to historic Belém, offers unique charm and atmosphere.

With thousands of restaurants and hotels, there’s something for every taste and budget, especially in Baixa and Chiado.

Visit Sintra for fairytale palaces and Cascais for beaches and a historic center.

By train or car, you can reach Lisbon in about two hours—perfect for a weekend getaway!
