Event Information:
New
Year’s Eve in Portugal‘s
capital promises to be an excellent
choice, and you can find several
places to join the party, including
the famous Tower of Belém Praça do
Comercio or the Park of Nations. The
beautiful city hosts street
festivities and club parties
throughout town, meanwhile public
theatres host shows across the city.
The grandest festivities, however,
are centred at a fantastic
Portuguese-flavoured spectacle at
one of the city's most famed
monuments, the Torre de Belem.
The
Torre looks out onto the river Tejo
and the vast Atlantic Ocean, which
could give party goers a sense of
the wide open future that the new
year brings - not to mention the
perfect atmosphere for the
fireworks, musical performances, and
dance parties which erupt there on
New Year's Eve. New Year’s Eve in
Lisbon can be quite an unforgettable
experience, especially for those who
decide to get lost in the streets
and alleys of the Barrio Alto, the
city’s most popular and fun
district, where the night never
ends, thanks to its clubs, bars and
restaurants.
Bairro
Alto is an area of central Lisbon.
It functions as a residential,
shopping and entertainment district:
it is the heart of the Portuguese
capital's nightlife, attracting its
youth. Lisbon's Punk, Gay, Metal,
Goth, Hip Hop and Reggae scenes, all
count the Bairro as their home, due
to the specialization of its clubs
and bars. Although fado, Portugal's
national music still survives in the
new nightlife, the crowds in the
Bairro Alto area is a multicultural
mix of cultures and entertainment.
Santa
Maria de Belém, or just Belém is a
parish of Lisbon, Portugal, located
6 km (4 mi) west of the present city
centre and 2 km (1 mi) west of Ponte
25 de Abril (25 April Bridge). Its
name is derived from the Portuguese
for Bethlehem. Belém is famous as
the place from which many of the
great Portuguese explorers set off
on their voyages of discovery. In
particular, it is the place from
which Vasco da Gama departed for
India in 1497. It is also a former
royal residence and features the
17th–18th century Belém Palace,
former royal residence and now
occupied by the President of
Portugal, and the Ajuda Palace,
begun in 1802 but never completed.
