M12 – Flat near Oriente Station in Lisbon

Parque das Nações has become one of the most modern and richest neighbourhoods in Lisbon since it was the site of the 98 World Expo.

It is full of interesting architecture – Oriente Station, Portugal Pavilion, Vasco da Gama Bridge, Vasco da Gama Tower, … – and a pleasant park where you can walk, run and cycle.

For children, there are great options such as the Oceanarium – where you can see the wildlife of all five oceans of the planets – or the Science Museum (Science Pavilion), with interactive exhibitions about technology and science.

There are also many places for interesting events at a short distance: the Altice Arena, site of all the biggest shows and live performances in the city; the Lisbon International Fair, which hosts all kinds of conventions, exhibitions and fairs; the Camões Theatre, headquarters of the National Dance Company; and the Lisbon Casino, which also hosts many live music, theater and dance performances throughout the year.

There is a shopping center 5 minutes walk, with everything you need (clothing, technology, entertainment, books, cinema and supermarket), besides a large restaurant area.
