The sprawling city of Lisbon is not only the Portuguese
capital; it is also the country’s largest city with a population of approximately
half a million. A popular tourist destination, the city also receives a health
flow of business travellers, resulting in a generous selection of Lisbon
serviced apartments catered to the corporate market. With the very best
selection of serviced apartments Lisbon has to offer, look no further than SilverDoor
Apartments for sourcing your ideal accommodation in the city.
Transport in Lisbon
Undoubtedly the fastest way to get around the city,
the Metro service connects the city centre with its business districts as well
as its further removed districts. With a 25 minutes ride from the airport to
the centre, the Metro is a useful tool for business travellers looking for a
quick and convenient form of transport to their serviced apartments in Lisbon
on arrival. In addition, the city has a tram, train and bus network that
connect the city with other Portuguese towns and cities, as well as the
Humberto Delgado Airport within the city limits.
Lisbon Culture
There are many cultural venues to enjoy when staying
in one of the many Lisbon serviced apartments, including the Museum of Art,
Architecture and Technology and the National Museum of Contemporary Art. The
city also boasts a range of musical venues including the Teatro Nacional de Sao
Carlos Opera House and the Centro Cultural de Belem which provide year round
performances.
Weather in Lisbon
Lisbon, like much of Portugal, benefits from a warm
and sunny climate, with July, its hottest month, receiving an average
temperature of 23.5C and eleven hours of daily sunshine. The coldest month,
January, only drops to an average of 11C. In September, the average sea
temperature is 19.9C – making it perfect for those looking to swim during their
stay.
Although the city itself seems relatively underpopulated
compared with other European capitals, Lisbon’s urban area has a population of
2.8 million, making it the tenth most populated area in the EU. It is also
considered an ‘alpha-level’ city because of its importance in terms of finance,
tourism, education and trade, meaning business in the city attracts many
visitors and the subsequent demand for serviced apartments in Lisbon is always
high.
Lisbon History
Originally a municipium established by Julius Caesar,
Lisbon is the second-oldest European capital city. Having been ruled by
Germanic tribes from the fifth century and Moors from the 18th
century, the city was reconquered in the twelfth century and has since been a
key Portuguese city.
Economy in Lisbon
The Lisbon region produces almost half of the Portuguese
GDP. As a chief seaport and financial centre, Lisbon is a rapidly growing
economic region, and is also home to the most developed mass media sector in
the country, as well as several automobile manufacturers.
