Lisbon, Portugal

Lisbon is the largest city of Portugal and the Westernmost capital of Europe, with an area of 84.6 Km², situated in the district of Lisbon. Lisbon is a city with easy access and travelers can arrive here by plane, by car, by train or even by boat.

Located at the point where the river Tejo (Tagus) flows into the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon became the official capital of Portugal (Kingdom of Portugal in those days) in 1256. Before that, it had been in Christian hands since 1147, the year in which Afonso Henriques liberated the town from the Moors.

Combining the long years of history with modernity, Lisbon has its own individual character, like most other capitals in Europe. And many times the word Lisbon is associated with Fado, a traditional song that has its roots here.

The heart of Lisbon is the Baixa (the city centre) which enjoys World Heritage Site status granted by UNESCO. The oldest district of the city is Alfama, close to the Tejo. Lisbon is known for its rich architecture, with Romanesque, Gothic, Manueline, Baroque, Traditional Portuguese, Modern and Post-Modern constructions.

Currently, the number of inhabitants of Lisbon is around 664.000 and the metropolitan area (Greater Lisbon) has about 2.665.000. The wider region known as Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, that includes Lisbon, has a population of 3.500.000, almost a third of the whole population of Portugal, and it is expected that the population of the Lisbon metropolitan area will increase to 4,5 million by 2015.
