Pena, Lisbon

The University of Lisbon’s medical faculty is in Pena; which explains why it’s full of young people and lots of atmosphere! Follow the students to find some of the best terraces.

But is there more to Pena than just student life? Yes! The headquarters of the military academy at the Palacio Bemposta are here as well as the Coliseu dos Recreios, where you can see acts like the Cirque du Soleil and other famous artists.

And if you fancy heading into the historical centre? No problem. It’s close by.
