Gare do Oriente
It is the main railway and road axis of Lisbon, connecting the northern and southern lines to the urban trains, metro and bus network.
The expression "all quiet on the eastern front" makes little sense when it comes to Lisbon. This part of the city is developing apace, and what was old is now new... or at least trending. Let's start with Parque das Nações.
After Expo 98, this once-forgotten area of the capital got a "makeover" – and a good one at that. Boasting wide streets with numerous gardens, green spaces and splashes of Tagus blue, this may be one of Lisbon’s best neighbourhoods to raise small children. There is plenty of space to play, various schools to choose from, and a selection of cultural spots for family outings around (almost) every corner.
Next stop: Marvila. This area has grown and rejuvenated without the need for tourism. Originally an industrial area, it has become one of the capital's trendy neighbourhoods, while the buildings, which were simple warehouses, have gained a new lease of life. Having a drink with friends? No problem, you can even enjoy craft beer in the brewery itself. Fancy a bit of vintage and retro decor? Marvila’s the place. Art? There are both indoor and open-air galleries.
Let's continue our tour along the river and visit one of Lisbon’s oldest parishes: Beato. Once home to farms and palatial houses, today the neighbourhood oozes innovation, creativity and technology. Here, the past/present dichotomy is a permanent resident, making innovators feel quite at home.
The eastern front seems pretty busy, after all – at least in Lisbon.
In the booming areas of Marvila and Beato, most properties have been renovated, while maintaining both their original exterior and interior charm. They feature garages, terraces and, in some cases, communal outdoor spaces. In Parque das Nações – one of Lisbon's most prestigious areas and host of major conventions and events –properties are modern, with amenities such as swimming pools, green spaces, balconies and garages.

The Lisbon Oceanarium is a reference aquarium with around 8,000 sea creatures and 7 million litres of salt water.
This pavilion has the capacity to host various types of events, from music concerts, exhibitions and even sports competitions.
It is an interactive science and technology museum that seeks to stimulate scientific knowledge and promote scientific culture among all citizens.
