WELCOME TO LISBON!

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, has witnessed the meeting and exchange of cultures that has taken place in the city throughout the centuries, from the diverse peoples who have settled here since the 7th century BC and left their cultural mark to the globalisation generated by the Portuguese discoveries that transformed the city into the largest port in the European Atlantic and became the inspiration for the construction of new cities all around the world.

As a consequence of the extensive dialogue of civilisations that Lisbon established with Europe, Africa, America and the East, its cultural heritage is a dynamic palimpsest, bearing the traces of the successive transformations. The authenticity of its neighbourhoods and its city centre that was rebuilt in the Enlightenment are linked to the diversity of peoples, cultures and influences that have contributed to its remaining in time as a truly multicultural and vibrant capital. This is reflected in the sustainable preservation of its many tangible and intangible cultural heritage elements and the unique nature of its historic urban landscape.

This vibrant city invites you to get to know it under the pretext of a Congress, a great excuse to travel and enjoy an empowering and impactful experience!
