Urban Beach is located in Santos-o-Velho, an area of the city of Lisbon that stretches along the bank of the Tagus River. This location provides a wide perspective over the estuary waters and the capital's skyline, positioning the space at a meeting point between the urban environment and the riverside landscape.
Its proximity to the river, in an area of Lisbon with its own distinct character, helps make Urban Beach easily noticeable to those who traverse this part of the city.
The Urban Beach building stands out for its contemporary architectural design, presenting itself as a structure with clean lines. Its presence is accentuated by the lighting, which gives the exterior a particular visibility, especially after dusk. Inside, the design incorporates elements that evoke Portuguese architecture, such as vaulted ceilings and walls that suggest the solidity of stone.
These details combine to create an environment with its own distinct aesthetic, where modernity meets traditional references, defining a striking visual identity for the space.
Urban Beach's large windows and its outdoor seating area are features that enhance the experience on site. Through them, it is possible to observe the movement of the Tagus River and the Lisbon landscape, which stretches along the bank. These observation points offer a scenic backdrop for visitors.
Since its opening in 2001, Urban Beach has established itself as a landmark in the city, known for its dynamic atmosphere. It is a place that allows visitors to enjoy the riverside landscape in an urban area of Lisbon.
