ISEG – Lisbon School of Economics & Management, University of Lisbon | Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University

Lisbon is not only Europe’s Atlantic hub, but also that of Africa and the Americas. Lisbon has always welcomed new people and cultures, lending its inhabitants a spirit of great openness towards foreigners.
Lisbon hosts events (many of international notoriety) throughout the year for a diversity of audiences. Along the Tagus waterfront are numerous places to dine, drink or dance, such as the Alcantara Docks. The area of Bairro Alto, home to the city’s original Fado houses, is now full of bars and small res­taurants.
Environmental sustainability is one of Lisbon’s strong points. The city has a network of station points to supply electric cars and of cycle paths connecting residential areas to services and green areas. Besides the city’s major green areas – Monsanto Forest Park and the Bela Vista Park – there are also several parks and gardens of historic and artistic interest, where you can relax and enjoy the city.
Security is one of the strengths of Portugal, and Lisbon is even considered one of the safest capitals in Europe.
