Celebrate the New 7 Wonders of the World in Lisbon
|
On July 7, 2007, you can view history in the making as the New 7 Wonders of the World are announced in Lisbon, Portugal.
The New 7 Wonders initiative began in 2001, with people from around the world nominating sites to rival ancient wonders like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Colossus of Rhodes. The New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced on July 7, 2007, at a spectacular gala event broadcast via satellite from the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon Portugal. Which sites will take the top honors? The Acropolis? Machu Picchu? Stonehenge? The world will know on July 7, and you can be there.
Abreu Tours offers 3-night and 6-night packages starting at just $431 per person (double occupancy), including admission to the New 7 Wonders extravaganza. Choose from 3, 4 or 5-star hotels, with optional airfare and car rental. After the unveiling of the New 7 Wonders, take in the sites and sounds of Portugal, one of Europe's most beautiful historic cities. Extend your trip and add on tours to Madrid, Barcelona, Oporto, or Madeira. Explore the natural beauty of the World Heritage sites of Sintra, Cascais and Arrábida.
Bernard Weber, founder of the New7Wonders Foundation, says, "The New7Wonders campaign is a completely unprecedented global grassroots election. Such an extraordinary project, supported by millions of people around the world, deserves a truly unforgettable finale."
