Lisbon and the Cool Noons Project: Discover Hidden Gems through Sustainable Tourism

18/12/2024
Lisbon, recently awarded as Europe’s Leading City Destination 2024, is redefining sustainable tourism by enhancing its historical heritage, favorable climate, and unique hospitality. As part of the Cool Noons project, the city has developed innovative paths that guide visitors to lesser-known attractions, offering an authentic experience in local neighborhoods away from the busier areas. The aim is to improve the quality of life for residents and promote responsible, eco-friendly tourism.

The Cool Noons paths in Lisbon are carefully designed to ensure thermal comfort, especially during the hottest hours of the day. The route provides an immersive experience through both the modern and traditional neighborhoods of the city, where visitors can explore local life, green spaces, urban art, and historical sites outside the usual tourist trails. From Teatro Maria Matos, a cultural hub, to serene urban gardens and the vibrant Alvalade Market, each stop is selected to offer shade and relief from the heat, while enhancing Lisbon’s cultural and ecological heritage.
This path was created not only as an attraction but also as a commitment to sustainability. By visiting these unique destinations, travelers support the local economy and reduce environmental impact, aligning with Lisbon’s mission to promote sustainable tourism. The Cool Noons paths allow you to experience Lisbon like a local, contributing to a greener and more resilient urban environment.
