SUD Lisboa
SUD Lisboa is one of the most elegant places to stay in Lisbon. Nestled along Avenida Brasília in the historic heart of Belém, this sophisticated hotspot overlooks the sparkling waters of the Tagus and offers a breathtaking view of the architectural masterpiece that is the 25 de Abril Bridge. Designed by architect Antoine Pinto, the building's red brick façade reveals one of the most beautiful views of the city. From its rooftop terrace with swimming pool, you can soak up the sun during the day with a signature cocktail in hand. A vibrant address by day and night, from 6pm the venue transforms into an open-air club with live music shows and daily DJ sets. So it's no wonder that its modern, chic atmosphere attracts locals, tourists and even international celebrities, from Cindy Crawford to Monica Bellucci!
But the place doesn't just offer the most spectacular view of the city. If Sud Lisboa has quickly become a hotspot on the Lisbon scene, it's because the address also stands out for its outstanding culinary experience. On the ground floor, the restaurant offers exquisite Mediterranean cuisine, with grilled octopus being one of the highlights. On the menu: exquisite Italian and Portuguese cuisine, quality ingredients and impeccable service. With its large windows and outdoor space, SUD Lisboa is undoubtedly the ideal place to be when the sun goes down. As the sky takes on pastel colours, you can see the sailboats gliding down the Tagus, the corridors along the embankment and, the highlight of the show, the famous red bridge lighting up before your eyes.

Torre Vasco da Gama
In the modern and dynamic neighbourhood of Parque das Nações, Lisbon reveals a new face. Here, the cobbled streets of the historic centre have given way to vast landscaped promenades and bold buildings that are redefining the city's skyline. The most striking example? The 145 metre high Vasco da Gama Tower is an emblem of urban renewal. This skyscraper, located on the banks of the River Tagus and whose sail-shaped structure is reminiscent of Dubai's futuristic architecture, was designed to symbolise the transition to the 21st century. A high-speed glass lift takes you to the top. At the top? The Babylon bar with a 360° panoramic view. Vertiginous.
