Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, Former administrative region in western Portugal
Lisboa e Vale do Tejo was an administrative region in western Portugal that covered parts of several districts spanning from the capital area to inland areas. The territory stretched from the Atlantic coast to regions further inland, encompassing both urban and rural communities.
The region operated as one of Portugal's five NUTS II administrative divisions until 2002. Its territories were then redistributed among the Centro, Lisboa, and Alentejo regions as part of administrative restructuring.
The area contained 525 parishes across 51 municipalities, representing the administrative and social organization of Portuguese communities in the region.
This area was a former administrative unit and no longer exists as a functional region. For travelers, it holds mainly historical interest when understanding Portugal's administrative evolution over time.
The region was divided into five statistical subdivisions, each possessing distinct geographic features. This division reflected the diversity between urban centers and rural countryside.
