19:00 buses arrive at Palácio do Conde d’Óbidos
This 18th century Palace, one of the most remarkable buildings in Lisbon with richly decorated rooms, has been the seat of the Portuguese Red Cross since 1924.
This construction frames a beautiful garden, as it has been the cloister of the ancient convent of Carmelitas de Santo Alberto.
The old zone of Janelas Verdes, where the Palace is set, provides a beautiful view from the top of the wide staircase to the river Tagus, the bridge, the dockyards, the Rocha and Alcantara fluvial stations on the right bank and the Monument of Christ on the left bank.
When the Red Cross headquarters were established in 1924, restoration works began and lasted until 1947. We call your attention to the Chapel, enriched with artistic paintings, the superb tiles, and the Library crystal chandelier. The venue is ideal for an evening spent in an elegant Portuguese atmosphere, overlooking the river and the harbor>

Lisbon is recognised as a global city because of its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education and tourism. It is one of the major economic centres on the continent, with a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on Europe’s Atlantic coast. Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world, and the oldest in Western Europe, predating other modern European capitals.
Museums in Lisboa The most famous ones are the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (National Museum of Ancient Art), the National Azulejo Museum, the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian (Calouste Gulbenkian Museum), the Museu Nacional do Traje e da Moda (National Museum of Costume and Fashion).
Top Sight!
The Belém Tower, one of the most famous and visited landmarks in Portugal.
Some Local Favourites:
With its world-class restaurants, excelling in seafood, its reputation for style and long pedigree in art and culture, Portugal’s first city remains high on every discerning weekend-breaker’s hit-list.
See top attractions like Castelo de Sao Jorge, Museu Sao Roque, Jeronimos Monastery, Arc Triunfal da Rua Augusa and Belem Tower. Wander through the streets of Alfama, visit Aquario Vasco da Gama, Centro Cultural de Belem, Miradouro da Senhora do Monte, Padrao dos Descobrimentos and the Museum of Design and Fashion. Enjoy a quiet moment in the beautiful Lisbon churches like Church of St. Antony, Panteao Nacional and
Igreja da Sao Vicente de Fora.
