Resumo(s)
The consequence of its geographical position the city of Lisbon has developed
a close relationship with the river (Tagus river) and the sea (Atlantic
Ocean). Portugal was one of the pioneering nations in the Sea Discoveries
(intensive maritime exploration mainly during the 15th century). Lisbon
was the port of departure for these adventures. This fact early conditioned
the relationship of the city with the river and the sea, and organized the city
waterfront as a space mostly devoted to economic activity and commercial
trading. With the development of tourism in Europe, Portugal has established
itself as a major European destination and Lisbon, as result of its
historical heritage, an important city-break destination. In this conversion
process Lisbon has reinvented its relationship with the river. The waterfront
has been taken as a strategic point of tourism attraction and development.
In this context, nautical tourism has assumed particular prominence,
both as a tourism product, and also associated with major international
yachting events which have put Lisbon in world news.
