Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is the major political, economic and cultural center of Portugal. Unlike most capital cities, Lisbon's status as the capital of Portugal has never been granted or confirmed officially by statute or in written form.
Cosmopolitan LISBON was the center of the world's last great colonial empire. Today, the city reveres its imperial past while adapting to Portugal's role as a member of the European Economic Community. Although located on the Atlantic coast, Lisbon has the soul of a Mediterranean city.
Set amid the hills and valleys of the northern shore of the River Tagus, it is one of the loveliest capitals in the world.
