Place to see in Lisbon: Expo Park
|
This is a new up market area of Lisbon. The former grounds of the 'Expo
98' were not left to abandonment and is now called 'Nations Park'
(Parque das Nações). Used both during the day and at night, it offers
numerous attractions: you can use its promenade by the river for a run,
for a walk or just to sit and enjoy the view of Vasco da Gama Bridge;
visit some of the pavilions that are still open like the Oceanarium ,
the Virtual Reality Pavilion, the Knowledge Pavilion, Macau Pavilion,
attend live concerts in the Atlantic Pavilion; enjoy the cable car
ride; cross the street and go shopping in the Vasco da Gama Shopping
Centre; have an exquisite meal in some of the finest restaurants in
town or just have a drink in one of the relaxed bars! As you can see,
there is a choice for everyone.
The park was built
with the general theme of "The oceans, a heritage for the future" and
some 142 countries and international organizations participated. Today
it offers a unique and exciting experience!
