Located along the Atlantic coast, Lisbon is the westernmost capital city of continental Europe and known as the former hub of European trade in the 16th century. Today, Lisbon's port is one of the largest container ports on the European Atlantic coast.

If the inner city counts 517 000 people, its greater area gathers approximately 2.8 million inhabitants, making it the 11th most populated urban area in Europe.

A particularly popular destination among international leisure travellers these days, Lisbon is a city where history meets a growing number of innovative concept stores and galleries, trendy bars and new restaurants.

The lodging industry is of course not lagging behind and presents numerous ongoing and future projects in and around the capital. Lisbon was therefore an obvious choice to be presented in our Hotel Market Snapshot series.
