Feira Internacional de Lisboa

Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) is a large convention and exhibition venue on Rua do Bojador in Lisbon. Its pavilions host major events such as Web Summit Lisbon and the BTL tourism fair, alongside smaller exhibitions and fairs. The venue has indoor halls and open areas between pavilions, with food stalls and charging points at events. Check the event calendar before you go: what you can see depends on what is scheduled, and entry lines can build up for popular shows.

Events at FIL

Feira Internacional de Lisboa, usually called FIL, hosts conferences, trade fairs and public events. Web Summit Lisbon and the BTL tourism fair are among its larger events; smaller gatherings, including Lisbon Games Week, also take place here. The venue is used for events with different audiences, so check the programme to find out what is on during your trip.

Some fairs focus on specific subjects. FIA, for example, is an international fair centred on crafts and multicultural trade, with crafts and gastronomy among its topics. Event dates and activities are set by the individual fair, so consult FIL’s official website before making plans.

Getting around the venue

FIL has exhibition pavilions with open areas between them. Its size helps it accommodate large events, but crowds can mean queues at the entrance. Arriving early is a practical way to allow more time to get inside.

Food stalls and charging points are available at some events. Facilities and services can vary with the event, so check its information if you need a specific amenity. Bag checks have caused delays at some entrances when only a small number of counters were operating.
