Lifelong Learning
LLP- Lifelong Learning ProgramME/ErasmuS
In the academic year 2007/2008, the Socrates/Erasmus
programme reached an end and it was replaced by the
new Lifelong Learning Programme. 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.
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.

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. This amount may be updated at the beginning
of each academic year. At the end of the course you will
receive a certificate. 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
9

Academic Information
are just demonstrating your interest in attending the
Portuguese Language Course.
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€ fee paid.
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 see 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.
Application for Student Mobility/Erasmus
Welcome Guide 2011/2012
Application
The School of Economics and Management of the Technical
University of Lisbon 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.
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.
Sucessful applications will receive their application
documents (Learning Agreement and Student Application
Form) signed and stamped by the Erasmus Office.
Upon arrival, you should contact the Erasmus Office (GEI),
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.One recent passport-size photograph
5.Academic Transcript of Records from the student’s
home University
6.ECTS Learning Agreement (list of course units) to be
attended at ISEG (in case they haven’t already sent
to the Erasmus Office of ISEG)
The Erasmus Office (GEI) of ISEG is the link between
yourself and your departmental coordinator, who is
responsible for the academic orientation and supervision
of your studies. Never hesitate to contact us whenever
you have any doubts or problems.
Once you have enrolled, you can begin attending classes,
you will be given a student identification number which
will entitle you to use the library, the canteen and other
school facilities.
Entry Procedures/VISA
To live in Portugal all students must be bearers of a travel
document, such as a valid passport or a national ID card.
This is the document usually presented by citizens of the
European Union and EEA (European Economic Area), who
have the right to move to another Member State to live,
study and work.
Nationals of non-EU or non-EEA countries 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.
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 studentcentred 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.
11
12
Application for Student Mobility/Erasmus
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 see 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.
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.
The ECTS grade provides additional information regarding
Welcome Guide 2011/2012
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
Grade
% of successful
students normally
achieving the grade
Definition
A
10
Excellent: outstanding
performance with only
minor errors.
B
25
Very Good: above
average standard but
with some errors.
C
30
Good: generally sound
work with a number of
notable errors.
D
25
Satisfactory: fair
but with significant
shortcomings.
E
10
Sufficient:
performance meets
the minimum criteria.
F
-
Fail: some more work
required before credit
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.

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.

Application for Student Mobility/Erasmus
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;
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.

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 may 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.
Portuguese Language Course
If you want to learn about Portuguese language and
society, why not enroll in a course of Portuguese as a
Foreign Language.There are many Portuguese language
courses to which you may apply in Lisbon. As mentioned
above, in recent years this school has provided students
with a Portuguese language course. When you arrive, you
can sign up for the course and pay a fee of 50€. At the
end of the course you will receive a certificate. 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
(usually 4 times a week, 2 hours each day).

How to Get to ISEG
Welcome Guide 2011/2012
Arriving at ISEG
by Plane:
by Train:
Lisbon is just a few hours away from North America (about
6 to 8 hours) and 2 to 3 hours from most European cities.
Lisbon’s international airport (Aeroporto da Portela) is
only 7 km away from the city centre. A complete public
transport network is available in the main towns.
If you arrive by train, you will reach the elegant Victorianstyle Santa Apolónia railway station. To get to ISEG,
you should take the 794 bus and get off at Rua Conde
Barão. Then you have two alternatives: either to walk up
Av. D.Carlos I or to take the number 706 or 727 bus and
get off at the last stop in Av. D.Carlos I.
In Lisbon there are three kinds of public transport: buses
and trams (Carris) and Underground (Metro). The bus fares
range from 1,75€ to 3,50€ and the Metro fare is 1,05€.
If you wish, you may choose to purchase a monthly ticket
for buses, Metro and trams at the price of about 32€,
which allows you to travel as many times as you wish.
A simple and cheap way of getting from the airport to
the city centre is by bus, take the AeroBus number 91
at the Airport, service begins at 07:45am and ends at
08:15pm. Buses pass every 20 minutes, and the ticket
price is 3,50€. Get off at Av. Fontes Pereira de Melo bus
stop. From there you take the number 727 bus to go to
ISEG and get off at Conde Barão / Av. D. Carlos I bus stop.
Alternatively, since the Lisbon Airport is very close to the
City Centre, you can reach ISEG by taxi (ask about the
fare beforehand and for a receipt at destination), they
are available 24-hours a day, the journey time to the city
centre lasts 15-30 minutes and costs between 10-15€,
ask to come to Rua das Francesinhas, near the Parliament
(Assembleia da República).
Taxis are mostly painted cream with a roof-light to identify
them. However, some taxis keep the old colours, green and
black. In towns, taxis use taximeters, but outside urban
boundaries, the service is charged by the kilometer, and
includes the price for the driver’s return to his starting
point. From 10 p.m. to 6 p.m., the fare increases 20%.
It is usual to give a tip of 10% on top of the price registered.
Luggage is charged according to a fixed rate. All taxis have
an updated chart in two languages.
You can also take from Santa Apolónia railway
station bus number 706 and get off at Conde Barão /
Av. D. Carlos I bus stop.

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.
http://www.spru.pt
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
250/300€ 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. If you really need accommodation urgently, contact:

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 our national emergency
number 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. As an ISEG student you are entitled to
medical care at very low prices through our Social Services.

Welcome Guide 2011/2012
Vaccination
For the purposes of entering, residing and studying in
Portuguese territory, there are no statutory requirements
with respect to vaccination. Nevertheless, the Portuguese
Ministry of Health highly recommends that all citizens be
vaccinated against tetanus, with a maximum lapse of ten
years between doses.
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.
At multilateral level, the Community Regulations on Social
Security, no. 1408/71 and no. 574/72, which include the
member states of the European Union as well as Island,
Lichtenstein, Norway, which are part of the European
Economic Area, as well as Switzerland.
For further information about these conventions and
agreements, students should contact the social security
services in their home country before traveling to Portugal.
If you are coming for a six months’ study period or more,
then you are entitled to use this service, as if you were a
permanent resident.

Around Lisbon
Portugal and the City of Lisbon
Portugal is located on the western side of the Iberian
Peninsula (Península Ibérica), with 832 km of Atlantic
coast and 1,215 km of land border with Spain. The country
includes Madeira and the Azores, two groups of islands in
the Atlantic. It is one of the twenty-seven European Union
Member States and joined the EU in 1986 (the European
Economic Community, at the time).
Portuguese Flag
The country has a surface area of 92,100 sq km within
the Iberian Peninsula, with a shape of a rectangle of some
560 km in length and 220 km in breadth, and about
10 million inhabitants. The population is largely
concentrated in the capital, Lisbon (about two million
people including periphery) and in other coastal cities
on the Atlantic, mainly Oporto.
Source: http://www.strawberryworld-lisbon.com/lisbon/
essential/geography.html
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.
Welcome Guide 2011/2012
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). Lisbon 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 Lisbon still retains its
18th century character. Over the centuries, Lisbon went
through wide changes, although many traces of the city’s
rich and troubled past have been retained. In 1994, Lisbon
received the title of European Capital of Culture, and the
city was promoted throughout the entire year in a wide
variety of events.
Source: www.utl.pt/docs/FSG.pdf
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, Lisbon
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.

Around Lisbon
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
Welcome Guide 2011/2012
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.

As far as visitors go to the other side of Tagus, the Blue
Cost is found along the Sado estuary, with 50 thousand
hectares of protected nature reserve and an extraordinarily
rich flora and fauna, including dolphins.
The Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in Avenida de Berna
(near Praça de Espanha metro station) standing in
picturesque gardens, is worth special mention for its
excellent permanent art collection, temporary exhibitions
and wide range of classical music and jazz concerts
attracting international artists. It also boasts an excellent
and modestly priced self-service restaurant at lunchtimes
serving hot meals and an enormous range of salads.
In Belém there are several monuments worth seeing:
Torre de Belém, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Mosteiro
dos Jerónimos, Centro Cultural de Belém.
At Parque das Nações, or Expo (Oriente metro station)
there are a whole range of facilities and entertainment
available, including: exhibitions, concert venues, riverside
cafes, bars and restaurants and ten-pin bowling. Other
worthwhile attractions are Europe’s largest oceanarium,
cable-car rides overlooking the river and bicycle hire. There
is also a huge, award-winning shopping centre complete
with a multi-screen cinema.

Around Lisbon
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 wellequipped 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.
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.
Welcome Guide 2011/2012
Tips for Night Life
Transport
There’s a wide range of bars and pubs in Lisbon, and
visitors should not leave the city without doing some barhopping 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.
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.
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.
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, around 2€ 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 1,05€. 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 Lisbon. Generally, buses and trams run from 6 am
to 11 pm. 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.

Language
Currency
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.
The Euro was adopted in Portugal on 1st January 2002.
The currency used before this was the Escudo.
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 (green wine). They all
have different characteristics according to their specific
region of origin.
Religion
Portuguese culture is greatly influenced by religion.
Although Catholicism predominates, other religions may
be freely practiced.
All payments are made in Euro bank notes and coins.
There are 8 coins: 1 cent, 2 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent,
20 cent, 50 cent, €1 and €2.
There are 7 bank notes: €5, €10, €20, €50, €100,
€200 and €500.
The Portuguese side of the Euro coins features the royal
stamp of Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal.
Seven architectonic periods of European history are
represented on the Euro bank notes.
The bridges and the doors symbolize the dynamics of
cooperation and the open spirit of the peoples of Europe.

Cost of Living
Credit Cards and ATM Cashpoints

Express, Euro card, MasterCard and others.
Cash points (ATM) are in great quantity throughout the
country and can be identified by an MB sign. You are
allowed to withdraw € 400 Euros per day.
Some students find cheaper accommodation, others spend
more money going out. Below you can find an Average
