As far as MICE is concerned, Lisbon has almost 16,500 bedrooms with nearly 11,500 in 4 and 5 star properties. Hotel options continue up the coast in Estoril and Cascais – an area often billed as the Portuguese Riviera. Along with excellent business hotels there are also 3 purpose-built conference and exhibition centres and various unique city-centre spaces that can be converted into unique event venues.

Porto is Portugal’s second city and many argue the most picturesque. The heart of the city is a UNESCO Heritage site, and of course, it will always be associated with its production of Port Wine.

Algarve has also become a very popular MICE destination with many hotels catering specifically to conferences and large scale events. The Algarve is also a pilgrimage for golfers from all around the world. With golf courses spanning all across the region and many overlooking the 200km of coastline, it is no surprise that The Algarve regularly receives accolades and is internationally recognised as one of the top golf destinations in the world.
