What is your definition of fun? Drinks at trendy bars, a wild street party, clubbing the night away? Or are you into the quieter pleasures like a great meal with good company and conversation and an afternoon in the beach? Are you into mountain biking, skateboarding, paintballing? The Portuguese love to have fun, in every way, every day. Whatever’s your pleasure, you’ll find it here.
Study in Portugal, and you will never, ever go hungry… unless you’re a vegan. Most of our dishes are based on meat, fish or eggs. But, if you’re not vegan, the food here is really, really good. The meals are hot and heavy, but ‘sharing dinners’ and ‘Portuguese tapas’ are now very fashionable, so you don’t really have to leave the restaurant feeling like you’ve just been stuffed full by your grandma. Traditional Portuguese desserts are sweet, based around different combinations of egg, sugar and cinnamon, more often than not.
