LISBON
Why Lisbon?
It is a challenge not to fall in love with the city of Lisbon. The Portuguese capital has an effortless charm and beautiful, accessible beaches that rival its European competitors. Once you arrive, drinking coffee for just €1 and having a naughty pastel de nata for breakfast, you won’t want to leave. Thanks to its world class restaurants, art spaces, nightlife, bars, and theatres, all sewn into a tapestry of cobbled streets and sea breeze, Lisbon is a strong candidate for one of finest cities on earth.
Highlights
"In Lisbon I was working at the University as a sports media intern. I am really enjoying working as it gives me a sense of working within a foreign, professional environment. Even if the job seems hard to find, keep looking as it will be worth it!"

Transport
Cycling is sometimes a little challenging due to the hilly structure of the city, but for traversing the long promenade along the coast, there are few things more enjoyable than one of the numerous electric scooters that are dotted intermittently. There are many competitors all at slightly different prices, but zooming along the seafront avoiding tourists and breathing in that sea air is the definition of travelling in style. Try it out, and be careful…
The Lisbon metro is easy to navigate, but it may take a while to get your bearings around the big city. Monthly transport tickets start at €40, with single tickets starting at €1.50. The Lisboa Viva card is also a great choice for students unsure about how much they will use the metro. You top it up with credit and then use it like you would use travel cards in other major cities – the big benefit is that ‘zapping’ fees are slightly cheaper at €1.34.

"Hi! I’m Becca and I worked for both of my year abroad placements (2018-2019); firstly as an English Teaching Assistant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and secondly as a Sports Social Media Intern at Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal. Although very different professional and cultural experiences, I loved them both equally and would be happy to answer any questions you might have about either of the jobs or cities!"
