Casino Lisboa

Casino Lisboa is one of the best show places in Lisbon! Casino Lisboa is located in Parque das Nações. When Portugal made the world exhibition in 1998,  Lisbon was extended to the west and along the river Tejo. Hence that whole area was reused and became the modern part of Lisbon. With its great modern architecture, many leisure places and places to go shopping, Casino Lisboa was adapted from the Pavilion of the Future as a great area of game with a high concept of culture and leisure.

At Casino Lisboa you can daily see shows at the main bar “Arena Lounge”   for free or you could see one of the many events that happen at the Casino Lisboa stages. For dinner you can choose to go to one of the three restaurants in there, from gourmet restaurants or just the regular ones with normal prices. If  you feel like  just having a drink and listening some good music instead,  go to Casino Lisboa and listen to one of the daily DJ’s that are there. Make sure you go sightseeing in Lisbon and go to Casino Lisboa!
