Lisbon probably has the best nightlife in southern Europe! So enjoy! Also renting a car is quite cheap, and it takes only 2 hours by car to go to the Algarve! Visit all the miradouros in Lisbon, it will leave you in awe...

Leave your wallet and credit card at home when you go out at night and just take 10-20€. Many people got robbed (with knives) and some had to take money from the ATM.

If you are going abroad to study, try to see a lot of the country and the city you are going to live in. Also try to get into touch with local people! Travel tips in Portugal: - Alentejo coast line - Algarve - Porto - Coimbra - Ilha de Berlenga etc.

FINAL COMMENTS

There is an overall problem with drugs in Portugal (more than 7000 junkies). It is not really dangerous but it is a hard experience to see the dammages caused by them and to live it day-to-day. Some places of Lisbon are better not to live in because of that.

FINAL COMMENTS

I would recommend to live in Bairro, to be in the middle of the city and to experience the old neighbourhoods. It's great to go on the organized trips throughout Portual, Porto and Coimbra is especially fun as these two cities are student towns.

Don´t expect too much from the courses (although I heard that business classes are quiet good at the University Nova and there are the better equipped Biblioteca Nacional and Gulbenkian-Foundation). People, life and culture are really interesting and not to be missed!



FINAL COMMENTS

If you want to get to know to a very special country which lives to some extension in the past and which has to struggle with the modern times, theres´s no better way to experience it. Travelling in Portugal (there are good and cheap possibilities by bus or train) is really a adventure.

FINAL COMMENTS

For me Lisboa was the best place to do an exchange semester. Lisboa offers a lot of things to do and Portugal is a country where you can travel around easily. Don't forget a sleeping bag. It's useful for travelling and Lisboa's flats are quiet cold during nights sometimes until march.

FINAL COMMENTS

Lisbon is great, If you travel around go to the Alentejo, there are beautiful empty beaches and it is not so touristic as the Algarve. An Example is Zambojeira do Mar. If you go out in Bairro Alto you will find lots of Erasmus students in front of Mescal in Rua de Diaro Noticias.

Location of Lisbon is excellent to travel! You can visit of course whole portugal, but also south of Spain, north of Spain, Madrid, Marocco (great country!),... Lisbon isn't always so safe (more or less normal, because it's a big city), but if you just take care a bit, then it will be ok! Just enjoy it!

Lisbon was a good place to travel and to meet people. Renting a car or taking a bus to go to Algarve or to Alentejo is worth and doesn't cost too much. There are also a lot of places to visit near Lisbon.
