Where is Lisbon?

Lisbon is the coastal capital city of Portugal, with a population of over 500,000 people. However, the locals also share the city with an annual tourist population of around 4.5 million people, which is unsurprising considering the city has previously been named the world’s leading city break destination, one of the world’s third most hospitable city and the ‘coolest’ city in Europe.

A third of the country’s population live in Lisbon which is based at the where the River Tagus, the Iberian Peninsula’s largest river, estuary meets the North Atlantic ocean. This makes Lisbon the most westernmost capital in Europe too. The A1 and A2 roads offer the best ways to get to the city by car because of its national and international connections.

Of course, for overseas travellers looking to reach Lisbon, the best way is via the Lisbon Portela Airport. It is an international airport and is just a twenty minute drive from the city centre. It is the main gateway into the country, serving over thirty million passengers per year. Lisbon luxury serviced apartments can be found within proximity of this airport, perfect for constantly on the move business travellers.

Lisbon Business

Being the governmental, commercial and financial centre of the country, Lisbon unsurprisingly has a strong economy. Whilst flexible, the Lisbon economy is considerably supported by the tertiary sector. The capital is naturally a hub for multinational companies and levels of average income per capita are the highest in the country. Lisbon also produces almost half of the Portuguese GDP.

Despite a debt crisis beginning in 2010, the city’s economy has since bounced back thanks to its ability to attract investment through a lack of red tape implementation. Now, the city is enjoying a period of economic revival and is deemed to be one of the go-to start-up locations in Europe. This is also helped by the fact that Lisbon continues to rank as of the world’s most ‘liveable cities.
