About BTL Lisbon

BTL is the largest travel trade fair in Portugal. Destinations, regional tourism boards, hotel groups, tour operators, transport companies and travel technology firms exhibit across the halls of FIL. Each year the fair also features guest destinations, which are listed on the official BTL website.

For agencies outside Portugal, BTL is a practical way to meet Portuguese regions such as Porto and the North, the Alentejo, the Algarve, Madeira and the Azores in one place. It is also useful for meeting suppliers from Lusophone markets and from Spain and Latin America.

The organiser runs separate opening hours for professionals and for the general public, and trade visitors are asked to register in advance.

How to get to Lisbon for BTL Lisbon

Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is the main airport and is close to Parque das Nações. It has direct flights from most European capitals and links to the Middle East, Africa and Brazil, with connections from the Gulf through major hubs.

From the airport, the metro, taxis and ride-hailing services reach the FIL area quickly. Lisbon Oriente station, next to the venue, has metro, suburban rail and long-distance trains, including services from Porto. Visitors from elsewhere in Portugal can arrive by train or coach.

Where to stay

Parque das Nações has hotels and apartments within walking distance of FIL, which is ideal for exhibitors and buyers with early starts. The Baixa, Chiado and Avenida da Liberdade areas in central Lisbon are on the metro and offer a wider range of accommodation.

March is a popular time for conferences in Lisbon, so book hotels near FIL early, especially for the professional days.

Planning a group trip to BTL Lisbon

Agencies attend BTL to sign new contracts, meet Portuguese destination management companies and hoteliers, and research products for the coming summer. Book meetings with exhibitors before the fair, and plan your visit around the professional days on 3 and 4 March, when the halls are quieter.

Registration for trade visitors is handled on the official website. For a group of agency staff, plan one shared day on the stands and one day for appointments, then add a short familiarisation visit to Sintra, Cascais or the Alentejo.

Agencies selling holidays to the public can also use the weekend days to see how Portuguese consumers respond to destinations and packages.
