Social Activities
Study Portuguese in Lisbon and immerse yourself in a new culture through unique social activities that help you connect with the city, its people, and everything you learn in the classroom.
Study Portuguese in Lisbon and Immerse Yourself In A New Culture
Learning a language isn’t just about grammar and exercises. It is also about going out and experiencing the Portuguese life and culture. To introduce our students to the beauty of Lisbon, we organise a wide range of optional cultural and social activities to explore the city. The trips range in availability and price, and some are negotiated at special prices for our students. Participation is entirely voluntary, but recommended if you’d like to get to know new places and people from all over the world.
During the summer we have 2 different activities per week while in winter we have one because the weather isn’t always perfect to go out. What you can always count on is dinner on Friday night so save your Fridays for us!

Outdoor and Sport Activities
During most of the year, the weather is perfect for some outdoor activities in Lisbon. Whether it’s a bike ride along the river, or a surf class on the beaches in the city surroundings. Because of the school’s centric location, it’s easy to get everywhere by bus, ferry or train in just a few minutes.
These activities are different from week to week but can include:
- A surf class, that can be adapted to your level, in Carcavelos, one of the best beaches close to Lisbon;
- A bike ride along the river to Parque das Nações or to Belém so you can enjoy the view while getting fit;
- A mega boarding experience alongside your colleagues;
- A Stand-Up Paddle session in Cascais so you can show if you have balance in a surfboard.
