University Zone, Lisbon

If you’re a science genius or in the process of becoming one, you’re in the right place. The distinguished Instituto Superior Técnico is right in the neighbourhood.

You’ll see plenty of students, university buildings and shops. But there aren’t many tourists here, so you can take full advantage to experience authentic Portuguese life.

So do as the locals do. Stop off for a coffee at a terrace café, or visit the Da Fonte Lumiosa park. And see for yourself how relaxing it feels.
