- -- Getting the feel of a city involves a mixture of observation and experience that only come when we allow ourselves to be drawn into its daily life and discover its smells, sounds, voices, lanes and hidden corners. In Lisbon, the Tagus river is never far away as we explore the history-laden streets of a city that constantly confronts us with its past, as the decorative cobble pavements lead us up from the Praca do Comercio through the 18th century Lower Town to St. George's Castle. From the Castle, we can enjoy unparalleled views of the south bank, Rossio, the Carmo Convent, the Bairro Alto, the Avenida da Liberdade and Parque Eduardo VII, Nossa Senhora do Monte and the Mount of Graca. It could be for all the world a picture postcard of Lisboa under a perpetually blue sky, reflecting the varied colours of the roofs, streets, old houses, window frames and green spaces, offset by the glittering stream of the Tagus! (adapted from CM-Lisboa) In July, you will find sunny hot days, with highest temperatures around 30 celcius. For a comprehensive weather information go here. We have prepared a map to help you find the conference venue, some facilities, and points of interest that you can't miss. You should visit the Turismo de Lisboa website for turistic information.
