Lisbon, Portugal’s capital and largest city, is home to nearly 3 million people in its metropolitan area. As Europe’s westernmost capital and the only one on the Atlantic coast, it sits on the northern shore of the Tagus River.
One of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon predates most European capitals. Originally settled by pre-Celtic tribes and later developed by the Phoenicians, it became Felicitas Julia under Julius Caesar. Over the centuries, it was ruled by the Visigoths, Moors, and finally conquered by Afonso Henriques in 1147, becoming Portugal’s capital in 1255.
Today, Lisbon is a global city, excelling in finance, commerce, arts, tourism, and innovation—a true hub of culture and progress.
