Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
Lisbon has a lot of activities, the city is amazing. I always looking for something to do, for exemple: go to the beach (20min by train), take a coffee in beatiful viewpoint (coffee is really good!!), fotography exhibitions, free courses (portuguese, english, spanish) in a cultural center and Lisbon is full of people at night. Lisbon has a good environment and there is people from Brazil, AFrica, Europe...and Exist a good integration
