The designated location "North" is part of the Parque das Nações urban development in Lisbon, positioned in its northernmost area. This part of the city, which once hosted an international exhibition, is distinguished by its expanse along the right bank of the Tagus River, offering a broad and contemporary perspective of the Portuguese capital.
The conception of the "North" of Parque das Nações is marked by modern and functional urban planning. It is characterized by vast open spaces, wide sidewalks, and architecture that reflects late 20th-century trends. The environment is tranquil and orderly, providing a contrast to the older and denser areas of Lisbon, a result of its genesis as a post-exhibition development space.
One of the most striking aspects of this area is its direct connection to the Tagus estuary. The banks here are inviting for long walks, allowing one to appreciate the immensity of the river and the particular light that reflects on the water. It is a point where the landscape opens up, offering unobstructed views and a sense of space that invites observation and rest, far from the urban hustle and bustle.
