Lifelong Learning LLP/ERASMUS

In the academic year 2007/2008, the Socrates/Erasmus program reached an end and it was replaced by the new LLP - Lifelong Learning Program. LLP's first stage is scheduled for 2007/2013. The Lifelong Learning Programme comprises four sectoral programmes on school education (Comenius), higher education (Erasmus), vocational training (Leonardo da Vinci) and adult education (Grundtvig), and is completed by a transversal programme focusing on policy cooperation, languages, information and communication technology and dissemination and exploitation of results. At last, a Jean Monnet programme is oriented towards European integration and the provision of support for certain key institutions and associations active in the field. Lifelong Learning Programme is an action plan of the European Community in the field of education and training. Its global goal is, in collaboration with the participating countries, to help students of all ages and social groups to improve their knowledge. Under Erasmus (one of the sectorial sub-programmes of the LLP), students can study in any other eligible Higher Education Institution, for a period of minimum three months and not exceeding one year. This period must follow a programme of studies, academically recognised by each home University.

9 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011 The mobility of students also includes student placements in enterprises, training centers, research centers and other organizations. The aim of the new programme is to contribute through lifelong learning to the development of the Community as an advanced knowledge society, with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. It aims to foster interaction, cooperation and mobility between education and training systems within the Community, so that they become a world quality reference.

Language Requirements

You can also choose classes that are not lectured in English. For those classes, lectures are given in Portuguese; a reasonable knowledge of the language is essential. However, language competence is not an entrance requirement. There are different Portuguese language courses to which you may apply in Lisbon. In recent years this school has provided students with a Portuguese language course.It is aimed at providing the fundamental tools of the Portuguese language in order to facilitate your studies and your daily life in Portugal. When you arrive, you can sign up for the course and pay a fee of 50 euros, which will be given back to you at the end of the course together with a certificate. This means that the course is free of charge for exchange students. If there is a minimum of 10 students enrolled for the Portuguese language course, it will be held at ISEG. If not, the students will be distributed within the other schools of the Technical University. The total duration of the course is 40 hours (3 times a week, 2 hours each day). In case you are interested in attending this course, please fill in the Attendance of Portuguese Course for Foreigners and send it back to us together with your exchange student application process. By sending us this document you are just demonstrating your interest in attending the Portuguese Language Course (see also page 26). Upon arrival at ISEG, you will receive the detailed timetable and you will be requested to confirm your participation. At that moment, and if you confirm, you will be allocated a place in the course and you will be committed to attend it entirely. If you give up before its end, you will not be refunded with the 50 euros fee paid.

15 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011

Assessment

The academic year is divided into two semesters. A student may attend courses chosen from 2, 3 or 4 different academic departments (Economics, Management, Mathematics and Social Sciences). Foreign students take the same type of examination as Portuguese students, who are continuously assessed in a number of different ways. These may include formal examinations at the end of each semester, participation and class attendance, group projects and the presentation of case studies or essays. You will also be asked to work with other students to illustrate your ability to work as part of a team and be actively involved, encouraged to ask questions and join in discussions and debate with your teachers. In some courses, foreign students will be allowed to do their reports and written examinations in English or another foreign language but this must be agreed upon by teachers on a case-by-case basis. A final mark is given at the end of each exam period. Grades are given on a scale with a maximum score of 20 and the minimum passing grade is 10. Students who fail in the normal exam, 1st period of exams, have a second opportunity in a final exam, 2nd period of exams (please consult the academic calendar). Examination dates and results are to be found online at our website. On successful completion of studies, students are automatically issued with an official certificate of studies. This document is subsequently delivered to the student's home university one month later.

Applications for Student Mobility/Erasmus

Application

The Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão (ISEG) – School of Economics and Management of the Technical University of Lisbon (Universidade Técnica de Lisboa/UTL) welcomes applications from foreign students who are already registered at a Higher Education Institution outside Portugal and who wish to take some course units from our wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. In order to make the necessary arrangements, there must be a written agreement between ISEG and the home Institution of the applicant, which describes the terms and conditions of the “mobility period” (sometimes called the “exchange period”).

How to Apply

All students wishing to attend lectures at ISEG should fill in the following forms and send them to the International Office of their home institution which is responsible for forwarding it to the Erasmus Office at ISEG (School of Economics and Management), within the deadlines below.

1. Exchange Student Application Forms 2. ECTS Learning Agreement 3. Attendance of Portuguese Course For Foreigners

The Erasmus Application deadline is the 30th of June for the winter semester and the 30th of November for the spring semester.

17 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011

The Home University, including a contact person, must be indicated on the application form, which should be signed and stamped by your International Exchange coordinator. Successful applicants will receive a formal letter of acceptance.

Upon arrival, students should contact the Erasmus Office (GEI) to establish their study programme, bringing along the following documents: 1. Identification (ID card or Passport) 2. Letter of presentation from the University of origin or document confirming you are an Erasmus student; 3. European Health Insurance Card (medical assistance) 4.

Even so, they should apply for a residence permit within 90 days of entry into Portugal to the Department of Immigration and Border Control. Confirmation of enrolment in a recognized school or college is required, as well as proof of health insurance coverage. Nationals of non-EU or non-EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) must apply for a Study Visa. This is a special permit issued for foreign students coming to Portugal (unless the country and Portugal have an agreement which provides exemption from visas). In this case, you can obtain the study visa from the Portuguese diplomatic representative of your country (i.e. the Portuguese Embassy or Consulate). This document may be granted on various entry basis and is valid for a maximum period of one year. Family members may accompany you for the period of staying, by requesting a temporary visa at the Embassy or consulate of the country where they reside before coming to Portugal.

ECTS – European Credit Transfer System

The ECTS - European Credit Transfer System is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme, which are specified with regard to learning and competences outcomes. One of the key objectives of the Bologna Declaration of June 1999 is to facilitate the recognition and transparency of periods of study abroad. With this system, the study programmes become easy to compare for all students, both local and foreign, and, as a consequence, it facilitates mobility and academic recognition among universities. On the other hand, universities are stimulated to organise and revise their study programmes in order to make them more attractive for foreign students.

What are ECTS credits ?

ECTS credits are basically a numerical value, ranging from 1 to 60, which are allocated to course units in order to describe the overall student workload required to complete them. ECTS credits are a relative rather than an absolute measure of student workload. Thus, the credits reflect the quantity of work that each course unit requires in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of academic study at the higher education institution - that is, work involved in lectures, seminars, practical work, tutorials, fieldwork, personal study (e.g. your own studies carried out in the library or at home), examinations or other assessment activities. So, you can se that ECTS credits are based on the overall student workload and are not strictly limited to the hours of contact (in classes, for instance). In ECTS, 60 credits represent the workload of an academic year of study and normally 30 credits represent a semester and 20 credits a term. In addition to this, in case of a study period abroad the ECTS credits ensure that the programme will be reasonable in terms of workload.

20 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2009/2010

What is the ECTS grading scale?

Many different national grading scales exist in Europe. Thus, in order to facilitate the mobility of students and the transference of their grades between institutions, a common ECTS grading system has been developed. The ECTS grading scale is based on the combined use of keywords with short explanations and alphabetical definitions, ranging from A to F. The ECTS grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis. The aim of the scale is to provide an instrument of transparency within the European higher education system, to build bridges and foster partnerships among institutions, as well as to broaden the choices available to students. The system makes it easier for institutions to recognize the learning achievements of their students through the use of commonly understood measurements – credits and grades - and it also provides a means to interpret national systems of higher education. ECTS is based on three core elements: information (on study programmes and student achievement), mutual agreement (between the partner institutions and the student) and the use of ECTS credits (which reflect the overall student workload).

The ECTS Grading Scale

As mentioned above, the grading system is an essential issue in the academic recognition process of international mobility programmes. Grading scales vary according to host countries and institutions, accounting for the difficulty and complexity levels of the equivalence process. Therefore, in order to overcome this wide complex universe of national grading systems throughout Europe, a grading scale has been developed in the framework of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) to make the comparison between different national scales easier and the assessment process more transparent

The ECTS grading scale allows the qualitative assessment of student’s performance in the course units (subjects) attended at the host institution. Firstly, this grading system divides students into two categories: “pass” and “fail”; then, those obtaining passing grades are divided into five subgroup and an ECTS grade is allocated to each subgroup.

21 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011 The ECTS grade provides additional information regarding the student’s achievements in a specific subject. It is based on the rank of a student in a given assessment, i.e., how he/she performed relative to other students in the same class (or in a significant group of students). It is important to note that the ECTS grade does not intend to replace the local grade (see topic below); the main objective is to provide qualitative information about the student’s academic performance. Therefore, it is based on a relative grade that can be represented as follows:

ECTS % of successful students normally Definition Grade achieving the grade

Excellent: outstanding performance with A 10 only minor errors.

Very Good: above average standard but B 25 with some errors.

Good: generally sound work with a number C 30 of notable errors.

Satisfactory: fair but with significant D 25 shortcomings.

Sufficient: performance meets the minimum E 10 criteria.

Fail: some more work required before credit F - can be awarded.

The ECTS credits have been fully introduced in all graduate programmes offered by ISEG. A credit indicates the average amount of time necessary to fulfill the course requirements: attendance of lectures, seminars, workshops, practical exercises, preparation of papers and exams. Sixty credits corresponds the average workload of a full-time student during one academic year. ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. Credits in ECTS can only be obtained after successful completion of the work required and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved.

22 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2009/2010

The National Grading System

10 - 13 Sufficient 14 - 15 Good 16 - 17 Good with distinction 18 - 19 Very Good with distinction 20 Very Good with distinction and honors

In the national grading system, the results are represented in a scale from 0 to 20, and the minimum mark required to approval is 10.

How are ECTS credits transferred among higher education institutions?

Home and host institutions have to prepare and exchange transcripts of records for each student participating in ECTS. This process is required before and after the period of study abroad. Copies of these transcripts are given to the student for his/her personal file. The home institution recognises the amount of credit received by the students coming from partner institutions abroad, so that the credits for the course units replace the credits which would have been obtained from the home institution. The Learning Agreement provides the student a guarantee in advance that the credits for the approved programme of study will be transferred.

The ECTS credit system provides transparency through the following means:

1. ECTS credits, which are a numerical value allocated to course units in order to describe the student workload required to complete them; 2. The transcript of records, in which the students’ learning achievements are fully displayed in a comprehensive way, so as to be understood and easily transferable from one institution to another; 3. The learning agreement, which covers the programme of study to be taken by the student, as well as the ECTS credits to be awarded in case of satisfactory completion. This involves the commitment of both home and host institutions, as well as of the student.

23 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011 4. The information package, which supplies written information to students and staff of institutions, departments/faculties, the organisation and structure of studies and course units;

Full academic recognition is a fundamental condition for student mobility in the framework of the Erasmus and Socrates programmes. The study period abroad replaces the equivalent period of study taken at the home university (including examinations or other forms of assessment), within the framework of the agreed study programme between partner institutions.

24 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2009/2010

Buddies´s Programme

The first days in a new environment may not be easy. In order to facilitate your integration and the contact with local students, ISEG has set up a buddies’ programme, in which local students voluntary offer their help and support to new fellows.

Before your arrival at ISEG you will be allocated a Buddy Erasmus. This means that a student from ISEG will help you in your social and academic integration. In this procedure, the Erasmus Office will have into consideration the course you will be attending, so that your Buddy Erasmus can be more helpful.

Useful Information for International Students

Accommodation

The Erasmus Office (GEI) is not responsible for settling students in accommodation but tries to do its best providing all the necessary orientation and information for all incoming students. For this purpose, it works together with the aforementioned group of local students. Accommodation in Halls of Residence is extremely scarce and only 1% of foreign students manage to get a place there. To overcome this problem, renting a room in an apartment, shared with other students looking for an extra flat mate to share bills, is the best solution and a less expensive option. Remember that finding lodgings in Lisbon can be difficult, especially if you are staying for less than a year. While seeking for permanent accommodation the best option for first nights is to stay at a Youth Hostel. Make sure you have a reservation.

University Residence

The halls of residence have no single rooms; each room is shared by two or three students, and has wash-basin facilities. There are also shared living room, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Though crockery and cutlery is not provided, you can purchase whatever you need on the spot. The neighbouring area has many low-price shops where such items can be bought inexpensively. If such accommodation appeals to you, please state this in your accommodation request so we make arrangements.

ANJAF Residence

With the purpose of offering a housing quality service to all the students, as well as a pleasant space to study. ANJAF offers the possibility to benefit from the Centre of resources and library, the social integration support and professional training at the same time.

33 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011

Private Housing

It is also possible to rent a private room (living in with a family) or to rent an apartment. Such rooms cost about 175/250€ per month. Flats normally consist of two or three rooms. Do not hesitate to contact the Erasmus Office ([email protected]). They can help you make these arrangements through their list of private rooms in the ISEG vicinity. Students may also find a notice board with a variety of accommodation on offer next to the student union.

Youth Hostel

There are two youth hostels in Lisbon. They offer two kinds of rooms: double and dormitory rooms, designed to accommodate up to six people. As this is normally a temporary solution, you are expected to pay for each night’s stay (including breakfast). The youth hostel also has a restaurant (self-service) with a take-away facility. There you can have lunch or dinner for 5€. The price is 35€ (low season) and 42€ (high season) for a double room with toilet.

Health Care Services

Public Health Clinic

In Portugal most people receive medical treatment through the Public Health Clinic (“Centro de Saúde”). That is run through the National Health System in order to provide general healthcare for the general public. In case of sudden illness you should go to the permanent attendance service (SAP).

Hospital

The district of Lisbon has many hospitals that are also run through the National Health System. The emergency section of the hospital is open 24 hours a day. Only in cases of risk to life or real emergency should you go to the emergencies section (“urgências”). Otherwise you should go to the “SAP” at the nearest public health clinic. In the event of an emergency, dial 112 (free call) and ask for the ambulance or police service.

Student Social Services

In order to have access to health care, E.U. citizens, who do not reside in Portugal, must be accompanied by either their passport, identity card or by the European Health Insurance Card.

Payments and healthcare insurance

Healthcare must always be paid for, either directly by the patient or by means of a health insurance policy. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she has an adequate health insurance policy.

Social Security Systems

You should bring your European Health Insurance Card (this card was substituted by document E111) and you will be treated as if they were a Portuguese citizen. Many students can benefit from the international agreements in which Portugal participates in order to gain access to the Portuguese Social Security System and through it to the National Health System.

Lisbon, capital city, is located on the right side of the Tagus river, in the center of Portugal, which is found in south-western Europe, bordered by Spain on the north and east and by the Atlantic Ocean on the south and west. It is the westernmost city in continental Europe and lies more or less in the centre of the country, approximately 300 km from the Algarve in the south and 400 km from the northern border with Spain. It has an area of 84 sq. km. and a population of 556 797 inhabitants. The area known as Greater Lisbon has a population of 2,1 million in an area of 2750 sq. km. The capital city of Portugal is built on seven hills overlooking the Tagus River, the very soul of the city. The city grew from the hill of the castle. Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians founded colonies here. Romans consolidated their port and fishing vocation; the polis developed in the imperial itinerary. With the barbarian occupations by the “Alamos”, the Germanic tribes and the Visigoths the towns declined. The flourishing came with the Moorish occupation from year 719 to year 1147. Conquered by King Afonso Henriques in the year 1147, the city prospered with the permanence of the court and its urban character was reinforced as capital of the realm (year of 1256). Lisboa became a European mercantile centre through the discoveries carried out by the Portuguese in the 16th century. In 1755, it was devastated by an earthquake, in which it is believed that about 30 000 lives were lost and more than 9 000 buildings were destroyed. The city was rebuilt for that day and age under the direction of the Marquês de Pombal. The downtown part of Lisboa still retains its 18th century character. Over the centuries, Lisboa went through wide changes, although many traces of the city’s rich and troubled past have been

38 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2009/2010 retained. In 1994, Lisboa received the title of European Capital of Culture, and the city was promoted throughout the entire year in a wide variety of events.

The memories of the golden age – a period when Lisbon became the capital city of the realm and one of the most famous and cosmopolitan centers of 16th century Europe - are etched in Torre de Belém, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and Padrão dos Descobrimentos. To the east, the city shows a new face, so clearly expressed in the modern architecture of the site that housed Expo '98, the last world exhibition of the 20th century, devoted to the theme of the Oceans, i.e., to Portugal’s contribution to the discoveries and sea voyages. This new area is known as Parque das Nações.

Recently, in 2004, Lisbon hosted the European Football Championship. In the beginning of this Century, Lisboa is still a city of many contrasts, a combination of modern and ancient that fascinates those who visit her.

Either in or near Lisbon you will find beaches, countryside, mountains and many areas of historical interest.

The Government

Portugal has been a Republic since the overthrow of the monarchy in 1910. After a long period of an authoritarian and corporative republic, which was institutionalised by António de Oliveira Salazar in 1933, a democratic state was established after the so- called Revolution of the Carnations on April 25th, 1974.

According to the constitution enacted in 1976, Portugal's chief of state is the President of the Republic, who is directly elected for a five-year term. The President represents the nation, is the chief of the Armed Forces, and appoints the Prime Minister. The elections to the Parliament in Lisbon happen every four years. The Parliament in Lisbon is right next to ISEG.

Tourism, Sightseeing and Attractions

Tourism in the Lisbon Region

Culture, tradition, history, modernity, entertainment and amusement. These are just a small taste of what you can experience during your stay in Lisbon. Just a few kms away from the city, you will find yourself in Estoril Coast, a pleasant resort with nice sandy beaches, an ideal scenario for a simple rest or even for nautical sports. The long river front of Oeiras links the Tagus and the Atlantic Ocean and provides various interesting spots. Among the shady woods of the hills and the Atlantic Sea, you can visit the town of Sintra, where nature and architectural heritage are just there in perfect harmony.

The cidade das sete colinas (city of the seven hills - nickname for Lisbon) is one of the most picturesque capitals of Europe. It has strong links to the past, reflected in the old buildings and narrow cobblestone streets. Lisbon is a mosaic of neighbourhoods. Alfama is the oldest, with traces back to the Moors. Go to the commercial area of Baixa to see one of Europe's oldest examples of planned neighbourhoods. Bairro Alto for nightlife with a personal touch. Head out to Belém to see grand architecture from the time of the discoveries. When you need a break from the city the nearby mountain village of Sintra makes for an excellent excursion, with its famous castles.

Shopping

Downtown - the area frequently called Baixa (downtown) comprises the Rossio, the Augusta street and its transversal streets, the recently renewed Chiado and the Liberdade (Freedom) Avenue. This is one of the oldest commercial areas in Lisbon. You will easily find streets named after the business or job that was done there once. Prata (Silver) Street, Ouro (Gold) Street and Ferreiros (Blacksmiths) Street are some of the examples we can quote. Shopping Centres - shopping centres are almost everywhere in the city. Bigger or smaller, they will do their best to suit your needs. We decided to list the bigger surfaces: Colombo, Vasco da Gama, Amoreiras and El Corte Inglés. These areas include several shops of different branches of business, including restaurants and leisure facilities like movie theatres and mini playground sets. Almost all business establishments in Portugal are open on weekdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm and between 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm, and on Saturdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm. There are many shopping centres that are open from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm everyday, including weekends.

Sports

In Lisbon, choose from the wonderful international golf courses, the sandy beaches with a huge assortment of water sports or the many sports associations with well-equipped gyms, swimming pools, etc. In the surrounding areas, you can find 18 golf courses just a few minutes away from the city centre. Set in great landscapes and made for those who love golf and refuse to renounce the quality of life factor, these golf courses are equipped with all the facilities that the most discerning players demand. Surfing, body boarding, sailing, windsurfing and all sorts of water sports can be found in beaches like Guincho (that has some of the best conditions for surf and windsurf), Cascais and Costa de Caparica. This last one boasts a 15 kilometer stretch of golden, sandy shoreline.

49 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2010/2011

Also not to be missed are the surrounding areas of Setúbal and Sesimbra. Besides having good conditions for water sports, both these regions offer spectacular scenery and are definitely worth a visit. One of the best ways to explore the natural beauty of Lisbon's surrounding countryside is on horseback. The magnificent landscape of the Costa do Estoril, particularly the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, is best appreciated on horseback, providing a truly memorable day out for visitor riders.

Tips for Night Life

There's a wide range of bars and pubs in Lisbon, and visitors should not leave the city without doing some bar-hopping in Bairro Alto, Docas and Parque das Nações. Whether you're looking for a traditional, down-to-earth tavern, a sleek bar, or a cosy chill-out atmosphere, there is always place for you.

Parks

Lisbon has several parks: Jardim da Estrela (near ISEG), where you can enjoy the sun, the trees, relax and visit the local café. Parque Eduardo VII (above Marquês de Pombal), where you can find the Estufa Fria (an exuberant greenhouse, with exotics plants, trees and fountains). Parque do Campo Grande, where you can roller-skate, swim or hire a rowing boat on the lake, simply to relax, enjoy the sun or appreciate the refreshing shade of the overhanging trees. Parque do Lumiar, Estrada do Lumiar. This park is relatively isolated from the city noises and houses the Museu Nacional do Traje (National Costume Museum) and the Museu Nacional do Teatro. (Theatre Museum)

Zoo

Lisbon's Zoo (Jardim Zoológico metro station) is located to the Northwest of the city centre. The Zoo has a large variety of large and small animals, housed in a peaceful, shaded spacious setting. It has an excellent collection of exotic birds and reptiles, a boating lake, restaurant and cafeteria facilities, as well as picnicking areas.

50 Welcome Guide – Academic Year 2009/2010

Transport

There is a wide inexpensive network in all towns and cities. In Lisbon, the city of the seven hills, you can choose between bus, subway, elevators, electric trams or railway, within the city or to the suburbs.

Like any other big city, Lisbon offers an extensive public transport network (underground, coaches, buses, trams, elevators, trains, boats and taxis). Do not miss the chance to go by tram or cable car – they are a great way to visit the city in a leisurely fashion.

Students can get around the city by bus or tram, both of which serve the entire city, for as little as 1,40 € per journey. Bus/tram tickets can be purchased, from the driver, or at any ticket vendor. During the rush hours the underground, or Metro, as it is called, is recommended as a faster mode of transport. A single ticket costs only 0,75 €. Subway tickets must be purchased at the subway stops. There are passes for bus/tram/subway trips valid for 30 days, as well as combined tourist cards that include museums and unlimited travel on the city's tramway, bus, elevator and subway transportation (1, 2 or 3 days). The public bus and tram company CARRIS covers almost all of the Lisbon. Generally, buses and trams run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The subway is operated by a public company - Metropolitano de Lisboa - and runs from 6 a.m to 1 a.m. The latter is definitely the fastest way to travel around in Lisbon. If you are in a real hurry, then take a taxi, which is also reasonably priced in Portugal. They are usually beige or less commonly black and green, with a sign on the roof. If this has a number (from 1 to 6) lit up this means the taxi is occupied. The green light on means the taxi is free. In the city taximeters are used; outside the city, the service is per kilometer, including the return trip to the pick-up point. Between 10 pm and 6 am there is an extra tariff of 20%. It's advisable to ask for a receipt. Baggage transported in the boot has a fixed rate. If you're traveling outside Lisbon, then you have the choice of the train or coach service, which enables you to reach any point in the country in a fairly efficient and inexpensive way.

Other Useful Information and Contacts

Language

Portuguese is Latin in origin and the third most widely spoken European language in the world. It is the mother tongue of about 200 million people. Portuguese is the official language in a number of countries: Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé e Príncipe in Africa, and Brazil in South America. In Portugal many people can understand and communicate in foreign languages.

Gastronomy

Portuguese cuisine is well known for its flavour and variety. It has been said that the Portuguese know how to appreciate the pleasures of life, which explains why one can eat so well here. Since Portugal is a country of fishermen and because of its location by the sea, fresh fish is always available, usually prepared in a simple style, normally grilled or fried, and served with boiled potatoes, vegetables or a simple salad. Lisbon and its surrounding areas are the ideal place to try delicious dishes of fish and seafood. However, meat is also an excellent choice, as are the many cakes and typical desserts. The pastéis de Belém, for instance, are a must. They are made according to a special recipe originally conceived by a nun from the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, and have been a delight for over 160 years. The Lisbon area offers a wide range of dishes and excellent wines, which go very well with our excellent gastronomy. Visitors can choose from the best Portuguese wines: either red or white, or vinho verde. They all have different characteristics according to their specific region of origin.
