What people say

"The Portuguese Pavilion building was built to integrate Expo’98, having received the Valmor Prize that year. It is classified as a Monument of Public Interest. Designed by architect Siza Vieira, it constitutes an iconic landmark that survives from the exhibition, being located in a privileged area next to the river. Its configuration presents two bodies: a building that develops around a courtyard, and a huge square covered by an imposing concrete canopy suspended by steel cables, defined by two concrete porticoes. Although it was intended from its conception that the building would last after the event, its functions had not been clearly stipulated at the beginning. Since then, it has operated predominantly as an exhibition space, having also housed a restaurant, cafeteria and bar."

Mentioned in these guides

You know the exercise of planning what to visit in a city by searching online "what to do in XXXX" and opening 10 tabs in an attempt not to let anything escape? And then not fully understanding what were the most relevant things for your kind of traveller? Well, I've been there multiple times!!! That's why I though that, as a local in Lisboa who has explored everything this city has to offer, I can make things easy for someone planning to visit it by creating a single source of information with all that. 86 places split into categories to make navigation and priorization easy: 1. Lisboa-exclusive places you must go to (3 tiers according to relevance) 2. Places around Lisboa you should visit (includes Sintra, Almada and Mafra) 3. Hidden gems (again 3 tiers according to relevance) 4. Old trams / Elevators / Funiculairs (you can be a fan and go around all of them or simply pick the best ones, which I refer) 5. Viewpoints (again, either go to all of them or just my top picks) 6. Things you can do around the world and here are nice as well On top of that you've got the ultimate Portuguese food checklist with 45 things you shoult try and whithout which your trip will be incomplete (90% of them can be found in Lisboa) My main objective with this guide is not to go into detail about each of these attractions but rather to categorize and give some hints about it so you decide whether to put it on your plan or not. If it is a monument or museum requiring a deep explanation of the hitory around it, you'll find it there. In case you have any question while planning your trip, we can also make a quick call for free ;) I wish you enjoy this city as much as I do and please do send me a message with feedback on this guide, as I use that to improve on it.
