Nations Park is a city within a city and one of the most beautiful places in Lisbon. This area was built for the World Expo 1998. Were created: separate subway line, futuristic train station, exhibition halls and the longest in Europe, the 17-kilometer-long bridge Vasco da Gama.

After the exhibition had finished, all of the objects have been redeveloped and the area turned into a Park of Nations. It is a modern residential and business district with excellent waterfront, many works of art and chic restaurants. The most interesting building in the park is a Vasco da Gama tower. More recently, it looked like this. Unfortunately, the observation deck at the top is closed to visitors.

In 2012 was built five-star hotel MYRIAD by SANA Hotels. It is the only hotel on the waterfront and the best in Lisbon, so we spent here a few nights (booking.com ).

Living here is very convenient as the Oriente station is a 15-minute walk away. And then city center or Sintra are easy reachable. In the morning we went jogging and met a sunrise.

It's length is 5 kilometers and it's impossible to visit all the district in one day, so you need two days or a bike.
