The award-winning Cultural Centre of Belem is home to the Berardo Museum, considered one of Lisbon’s best attractions at no cost to visitors. The center was originally built for the European presidency that Portugal hosted during the 1992 term, but it is now a massive complex for conferences, exhibitions, and the performing arts.
Touring ballets, operas, symphonies, concerts, and art displays are held at the center all year long. Additionally, the Cultural Centre of Belem also hosts political and research congresses in its high-security meeting halls. Visitors can explore the museum, catch one of the many events, or browse the stores, restaurants, and bars on site.
Praca do Imperio, 1449-003 Lisboa, Portugal
