Lisbon
LISBON, PORTUGAL
FALLING IN LOVE WITH LISBON
With creamy pastel walls, sunset-hued terracotta rooftops, and centuries-old cobblestone streets, “The City of Seven Hills” on the sparkling Rio Trejo is one of Europe’s most charismatic cities. Bursting with vintage appeal and old-world charm, Lisbon’s crowd of artists, chefs, and bartenders create an electrifying atmosphere sure to steal your heart.
Summer is the most dynamic season in Lisbon, promising beach trips, rooftop parties, and an infectious ambiance. Featuring a deeply rooted history and romantic culture, you’ll see iconic hand painted tiles and bright street art contrasted with white-domed cathedrals and gothic architecture. Lisbon could enchant anyone with its effortless beauty and vibrant aura.
You’ll wander a labyrinthe of photogenic cobblestone streets with quirky cafes, independent bookstores, and eye-catching boutiques around every corner. Fall in love with a faduista gently strumming a Portuguese 12-string guitar, sip buttery-sweet port in a cozy tavern, and watch the city blush with a rosy sunset.

Friday
Get lost in lisbon
With so much to see, you’re going to want to hit the cobblestone streets right away when you arrive. Check out the gorgeous gothic churches, admire the view of the city from its ancient castle fortress on the hill, or sit back with some vinho verde and watch the world go by. We’ll all get together for our welcome party at one of Lisbon’s hottest rooftop bars.
Saturday
Tan all day, party all night
After a night out, you’ll fuel up with a delicious hearty brunch before heading out in the lovely city again. The sun and the sea are fabulous so we’ll hit the beach for the day. Lisbon’s coastline is dotted with hidden coves and gently sloping dunes, and the luxuriously warm waters are world-renowned for surfing. We’ll take a dip, enjoy the sun, and head back to the heart of the city for another electrifying night out.
Sunday
EXPLORING ANOTHER ERA IN SINTRA
You might be en route home Sunday, but you might not want to miss our excursion to Sintra, a beautiful stonewalled village a breath away from Lisbon. We’ll step back in time to Sintra’s medieval palace, monasteries, and enchanted gardens in Portugal’s otherworldly forests. Live your best fairytale life wandering Sintra’s mystical hillsides and stopping over in folksy taverns. Prepped to get drenched in wine in the Spanish countryside next?
The Abroad Connection makes the most of your semester by visiting the cities and destinations you’ve been dreaming about.
