So it is possible to measure Expo '98 by the number of pavilions visited. But it is also possible to gauge pleasure by the number of addresses exchanged with people from distant lands. In that sense, a world's fair can also be a true world's crossroads. The Expo '98 site, along the Tagus River close to the airport, can be reached from downtown Lisbon by car, taxi, bus, subway, train and even boat. For tickets, it is best to contact your travel agent or purchase them upon arrival.
Quality restaurants are also available.
Not surprisingly, the local cuisine leans heavily on fish and seafood, with sea bass and crabs particularly popular, although there is nothing more Portuguese than a dish involving dried cod, or bacalhau . Indeed, the world's fair also offers a tour of the world's food, with the United States, Germany, the Philippines, Venezuela, Mexico, Turkey, Uruguay, Finland and Spain all operating restaurants outside their pavilions.
