Study in Portugal Summer Program
June 3 - July 1, 2007

Lisbon, Portugal's capital city, is one of Europe's most picturesque cities.

It sits at the confluence of the Tejo River and the Atlantic, where 500 years ago its navigators embarked upon the discovery of other lands around the world. Now home to about 2 million inhabitants, greater metropolitan Lisbon is the motor to the country's political and economic life. Visitors who have not seen the city in the last 5-10 years will hardly recognize the transformations that have occurred as a result of the region's explosive economic growth.

While students will visit the historic sites that have always made Lisbon what it is, numerous guided visits around the city will introduce students to "The New Lisbon" as well. These visits, including the National Parliament, the Belem Presidential Palace, and Expo '98, will focus on how European integration and its associated processes have impacted political, economic, and social life in the region. Day trips to Evora, Sesimbra, the Lisbon coastal region, and Coimbra will offer cultural experiences of a lifetime and shed light on the impact of the EU on regions outside the capital.
