Welcome to Lisbon
"armed with Gothic Grit and Glamour"
Welcome to Lisbon, Portugal's sun-kissed jewel, where history and modernity entwine, offering you a vibrant tapestry of culture, cuisine, and coastal charm. Begin your adventure in the historic district of Alfama, where the narrow, winding streets invite you to explore the city's ancient Moorish roots. Discover hidden courtyards, colorful azulejos (ceramic tiles), and the sounds of Fado music drifting from intimate taverns. Lisbon's architectural diversity will leave you awe-struck. The Belém Tower, a UNESCO World Heritage site, stands proudly on the banks of the Tagus River, while the Jerónimos Monastery's intricate Manueline design is a testament to Portugal's Age of Discovery. Indulge in the city's culinary delights at the Mercado da Ribeira, where local chefs and artisans showcase Portuguese flavors at their finest. Taste pastéis de nata (custard tarts) and fresh seafood, paired with a glass of Vinho Verde. Lisbon's hills are dotted with miradouros, or viewpoints, that offer panoramic vistas of the city and the river. Visit São Jorge Castle for a spectacular view, or take a tram ride through the charming streets of Bairro Alto. For culture seekers, Lisbon boasts an array of museums and cultural institutions. Explore the Museu Nacional do Azulejo, dedicated to the art of ceramic tiles, or the Museu Coleção Berardo, featuring contemporary art from around the world. The city's close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean means beautiful beaches are just a short trip away. Relax on the golden sands of Cascais or catch some waves in the surfers' paradise of Ericeira. As the sun sets, Lisbon's nightlife comes alive. Head to the historic district of Bairro Alto, where lively bars, clubs, and Fado houses ensure unforgettable evenings filled with music and camaraderie. Lisbon beckons you to embrace its rich heritage, artistic spirit, and culinary wonders. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a foodie, or a romantic adventurer, Lisbon offers an authentic Portuguese experience that will capture your heart and soul.

Hungary didn't make their debut until GM12, but they came onto the GM-scene with a bang, taking the silver medal in their first participation. Still they did not compete in the following edition, but came back in GM14 with an even bigger bang, winning the gold! Another medal followed in their 4th participation and then another 3 top 10 results. Hungary had certainly arrived!
