About this venue
Teatro Camões is one of Lisbon's distinctive contemporary theatres, built as part of the Expo ’98 complex in what is now Parque das Nações. Designed by architects Manuel Salgado and Marino Fei, the building combines simple geometric forms with a blue metal-clad stage volume and a large glazed foyer facing the Tagus River. The auditorium currently accommodates approximately 827 spectators, while the theatre is closely associated with dance as the home of the Companhia Nacional de Bailado.
The interior was conceived for demanding dance, music and stage productions. The auditorium features a technical ceiling above the seating area, an orchestra pit and an acoustic shell for orchestral performances, while spacious foyers create a natural transition between the riverside setting and the performance hall. Visitors also have access to a cloakroom, bar and facilities designed for people with reduced mobility.
The theatre is located at Passeio Neptuno, Lisbon, Portugal, beside the waterfront and landscaped spaces of Parque das Nações. Several paid parking facilities are available nearby, including the Marina, Oceanário and Doca car parks, while the entrance can also be reached on foot from nearby public transport stops within the district.

About the city
Lisbon, Portugal’s vibrant capital on the banks of the Tagus, blends Mediterranean charm with big-city energy, making it a natural choice for unforgettable concerts and major sports events. Here, a night out and a live show easily become a complete experience – from waterfront strolls to lively neighborhoods that never seem to slow down. The city feels welcoming, highly photogenic, and compact enough to pack a lot into a short stay, which makes it ideal for weekend breaks and well-planned getaways.
A major advantage of Lisbon is how easy it is to get around: Metropolitano de Lisboa covers key parts of the city, while Carris links districts with buses and trams, so reaching arenas and stadiums is straightforward and stress-free. If you arrive by train, important stations such as Santa Apolónia and Gare do Oriente offer convenient connections into the city and onward to the surrounding area, and for international travel you have Humberto Delgado Airport (Aeroporto de Lisboa) with quick access to the center. In practice, that means you can plan arrivals and departures without complications, relying on clear routes and frequent services.
Before or after the event, Lisbon rewards curiosity: walk across the grand Praça do Comércio, get happily lost in the lanes of Alfama, or explore Baixa and Chiado for coffee and shopping. Along the Tagus River you’ll find promenades and viewpoints, while the Belém area adds iconic sights and a relaxed atmosphere for a proper pause. The city is made for small breaks between highlights – just pick a terrace, catch the sunset, and feel the street’s rhythm.
Whether you’re coming for a high-stakes match or a concert worth traveling for, Lisbon delivers a combination of smooth logistics and atmosphere that’s hard to beat. With a wide range of accommodation – from central hotels to more budget-friendly options in the wider area – it’s easy to build a plan that fits your pace and budget. All in all, Lisbon isn’t just a destination for an event, but a city where the experience continues well before the first whistle or the first note.
