About

Quick facts: The university attracts around 20,000 students each year, making it one of the largest in Portugal. It houses a library with over a million books, including rare manuscripts from the 13th century.

Highlights: No other educational institution in Portugal can boast a chapel with an acoustic effect that can amplify a single voice to over 700 listeners. It is also famous for the Summer Academy of Classical Music held in the summer months, bringing music directly into the courtyards within the campus.

Insider tips

  • Obucite udobnu obuću za šetnju kroz različite dijelove kampusa.
  • Najljepši pogledi i fotografije su sa vidikovca kraj zvonika.
  • Izbjegavajte vikende kada ima više turista i studenata.
  • Ne propustite tihe trenutke u biblioteci koja je prava oaza za mir.
