Apart from its excellent transport links, mild climate, vibrant culture and attractions, and quality infrastructure at competitive prices, Lisbon also offers a wide range of meeting venues in unique settings to suit different needs.

PAVILHÃO CARLOS LOPES

Designed to be the Pavilion of Portuguese Industries in the 1922 during the International Exhibition of Rio de Janeiro, the Pavilion Carlos Lopes was built mostly with elements transported from Portugal to Brazil. After the exhibition, it was dismantled and transferred to Portugal, implanted in Lisbon since 1932 in the Parque Eduardo VII.

Used for performing sports as well as cultural, artistic and political events for decades, the Pavilion has become the site of the Great Exhibition of Portuguese Industry.

With extensive refurbishment in 2016, the unique venue boasts an exceptional location in the downtown area with different rooms for all type of events up to 2,900 pax. The Pavilion is a perfect choice for meetings, conferences, lunch and dinner, fairs and exhibitions, as well as product presentations.

SUD LISBOA HALL

This special venue is located in a part of the city that visitors hardly know - a unique space featuring two venues of strong personality united in perfect coexistence with the beauty of Tagus river and their will of creating amazing sceneries.

SUD Lisboa is located in the Brasília Avenue in the maritime area of Belém and the nearby 25th April Bridge, just about 5 km from the city centre with great accessibility and proximity to the main access road to the north and south of the country.

The magnificent beauty of the 25th April Bridge is well expressed in the fact that, when it was inaugurated, it was considered the fifth largest suspension bridge in the world and the biggest outside the United States. Forty years later, it is ranked 20th worldwide.

Impressive in size and technology, the venue features a ground floor of 1,000 sqm and a first floor of 700 sqm with high-quality sound and light equipment. It can adapt to any type of event, decoration and entertainment.

TAPADA NACIONAL DE MAFRA

Less than 40 km to the north of Lisbon lies one of Portugal’s oldest town, Mafra, known for its leafy parklands and also home to the Palácio Nacional de Mafra (Mafra National Palace).

This imposing baroque monument was built by King João V in the 18th Century. The Tapada de Mafra (Mafra Forest), which surrounds the palace, was once the hunting and playground of the Portuguese monarchy.

Founded in 1747 during the reign of King João V as a park for the leisure of the king and his court in the lands around the National Palace of Mafra, the Tapada Nacional de Mafra stands out as natural heritage with unique characteristics, and today provides the most wonderful backdrop for your event.

MONTE MAR Lisboa Restaurant

Featuring an elegant and urban-chic atmosphere, Monte Mar Lisboa serves fresh fish, shellfish and all the traditional dishes in the Cascais cuisine.

Its terrace provides one of the best views of Lisbon and the Tagus River, where you can relax in the heart of a vibrant city.

Besides the quality of a contemporary service, Monte Mar Lisboa offers an elegant multi-functional space adaptable to various types of events and to your preferences. The venue strives to create a memorable experience and is happy to customise all aspects of your event.

The interior space can accommodate up to approximately 300 people and sit about 300. On the outside deck, there is the possibility of hosting a cocktail service for up to 400 guests.
