Festas do Mar

Lisbon, Portugal’s capital and largest city, is unique compared to other capitals, yet this distinction has never been formally acknowledged. Located by the Mediterranean, the area has seen a number of invasions, and the mix of architectural styles from Moorish and Roman domination can be seen today. Lisbon is home to two fantastic stadiums, Sporting and Benfica, where you can watch important football games and music performances. Sand beaches are approximately 15 km distant if you want to escape the rush and bustle of city life in Lisbon.
