Lisbon is the largest city in Portugal and is also its capital. Located at the mouth of the Tagus River (Río Tagus), apart from being the country’s capital, it is also the capital of the District of Lisbon, and is the main hub of the Greater Lisbon area. The city has almost 564,477 inhabitants (2001), but its metropolitan area is home to almost 3 million people, a quarter of the country’s entire population. Lisbon is the richest city in Portugal, with a per capita GDP which exceeds the European average. It has been the capital city since it was conquered by the Moors in 1147. It is a city with over 20 centuries of history. Its walkways through “rural Portugal” are unique in Europe. Many of its buildings are decorated with blue and white tiles. The city is in a continual process of growth; this is evidenced by the presence on its outskirts of skyscrapers and some of the largest shopping centres in Europe. In its narrow streets and in the oldest districts of Lisbon - Alfama and Bairro Alto – tourists can enjoy traditional Fado music, played and sung in many small restaurants.
