Lisbon Venues has over 65 years of professional experience in the areas of congresses, conventions, events, and fairs, managing two distinct venues that combine a total area of 129,000 sqm: the Lisbon Congress Centre (CCL) and the Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre (FIL).

Unique Places

CCL, with 29,000 square meters, distinguishes itself by having a capacity per event up to 7.000 people with highly versatile, flexible, and adaptable spaces, including 8 auditoriums, 34 meeting rooms, and 10,000 square meters of exhibition area. Located in Belém, on Lisbon’s western edge, it benefits from the best of both worlds, combining the area’s rich cultural offerings with good access to the airport and several walking distance hotels.

FIL, with 100,000 square meters, stands out for the unique conditions to host large-scale events. The venue is very functional, with 4 pavilions infrastructure with high technology,12m height and connected between them and multipurpose areas, outdoor and indoor allowing to create unique features and spaces. At FIL a meeting centre with three auditoriums and meeting rooms complements the venue.

FIL is also one of the most accessible venues in the world, just 7 minutes from Lisbon airport and 200 meters from Gare do Oriente, a major transport hub where all public transportation to the city centre can be found. The venue has a river view and several walking distance hotels like CCL.

Unique Events

CCL features the largest auditorium in the Country in a standout for conferences and events, with a 1,500-person capacity and notable acoustic qualities. One of CCL’s great advantages is that its architecture enhances adaptability, providing either spatial autonomy or full integration, having the possibility of holding 3 events at the same time with exclusive areas.

FIL is designed with multifunctionality at its core. Each of FIL’s large pavilions offers diverse and innovative solutions, as seen in the recent event, which transformed the pavilion’s 10,000 sqm and 15-meter height to create an impressive show.

But FIL also caters to smaller-scale events, with 14 meeting rooms on each upper floor, a smaller wooden-structured pavilion with excellent acoustics, and The FIL Meeting Centre, which includes 3 auditoriums and 5 multifunctional, fully climate-controlled rooms.

Both venues can be complemented by the wide array of quality services provided by Lisbon Venues. Following a one-stop-shop approach, there are solutions for areas such as audio-visuals, catering, cleaning, and even communication and exhibition management, among others.
