WHY LISBON?
Lisbon is a historic capital, an amalgam of 800 years of cultural influences that mingle with modern trends and lifestyle creating intricate and spectacular contrasts. Spread across seven hills, always opening a window towards the majestic Tagus river. A tolerant city by tradition thanks to centuries of enjoying/experiencing cross culture influences from across the oceans. We make people feel at home!
​
If you’re dreaming about your next trip to Europe, come and discover Lisbon, a historical city full of stories to tell, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15oC. A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod), and where you’ll find hotels and restaurants to suit every taste, budget and requirement.

​
Lisbon International Airport is located still within the city boundaries only 7 kms from the city center and from most of the conference hotels and congress centers. All Lisbon hotels are situated in the city itself. Furthermore, Lisbon has the best Hostels in the world which can be a convenient and cheaper accommodation.
Due to the influence of the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon has a pleasant climate throughout the year. In mid September the weather is typically above 20oC with no precipitation.
​
That’s why Lisbon is such a great idea for hosting ESSCIRC/ESSDERC 2023. You get a great venue center (CCL) and hotels that satisfy the most demanding requirements, and a surprising and welcoming city, packed with interesting things to do, getting the best of both worlds: pleasure and work.

Richly captivating, Lisbon invites you!
