Information about the city of Lisbon
Lisbon is the host city of the ESICM 2026 annual congress. It is the capital of Portugal and also the country’s most visited city. The urban area extends beyond the city limits. In total, around 2.7 million people live there.
The city lies on the Atlantic coast and along the River Tagus. Because of this location, it has always been an important trade hub. Today, Lisbon is a global city with many key sectors. These include finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts, international trade, education, and tourism. As a result, it plays a major role in Europe’s economy. In addition, it has a growing financial sector and one of the largest container ports on the Atlantic coast of Europe.
Despite its modern development, Lisbon has a long history. In fact, it is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is also the oldest city in Western Europe. Compared to cities like London, Paris, and Rome, Lisbon predates them by centuries.
Furthermore, we work closely with hotel partners around the world. Therefore, we can offer suitable group arrangements for 20 people or more at any time. In addition, we provide full support for all ground handling services. If you have a request for the ESICM 2026, please contact congress@mr-congress.com
