Location & Facilities:


  • Portugal is one of the oldest nations in Europe. Situated on the west by the Atlantic Ocean and by Spain to the east, Portuguese culture assimilated many of its historical visitors, among them the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, northern Europeans and peoples from Mauritania. With its expansive coastline, dramatic landscape, and easy access to the water, Portugal has a rich maritime history, one which spread its culture and language throughout the world. Today, the Portuguese language is the third most spoken European language in the world, with native speakers throughout Africa, South America, and Asia. The Portugal of today is a juxtaposition of old fashion charm, medieval castles, and picture-perfect villages existing alongside a population of multicultural citizens, delicious food, and a beautiful climate. With its welcoming attitude towards foreigners, Portugal has drawn visitors for centuries.
  • Lisbon, the westernmost capital in mainland Europe, is the country's principal city, with 10 million inhabitants. The city offers all that you would expect from a historic, yet modern European capital, yet without all the fuss. Cultural possibilities abound, with its Gothic cathedrals, a rich variety of museums, and lively cobbled with cafés just waiting to serve you espresso and streets, Lisbon begs to be explored. Yet, even with centuries-old surroundings, the city is very much alive and undeniably youthful. Jazz, reggae, electronica, and Portugal’s own fado music often fill the air until dawn.
