About Portugal

Portugal is Europe’s oldest country having the same borders. It was founded in 1143 and has had its current borders since 1249. Portugal is a country with beautiful and diverse scenery, a mild climate (3,000 hours of sunshine per year in Lisbon) and a rich cultural heritage that includes more than 5 centuries of close relationships with peoples all over the World, including Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Portugal has a highly educated population, half of whom can speak at least one foreign language (mainly English), and a centuries-old tradition of welcoming foreigners. It is a democracy, a free market economy, a member of the European Union and of the Schengen Space (26 European countries), and a potential gateway to a market of about 250m people in the Portuguese speaking countries and communities.


Lisbon, the capital city, is consistently awarded top international prizes as the best or one of the best places to visit in Europe.
