PORTUGAL & LISBON
So many reasons to visit

fers unparallel conditions for sports teams camps & tours. Many sports teams
and athletes travel to Portugal for warm weather camps and this is one of the
most preferred sites in Europe as it provides excellent sporting facilities for

The cultural scene in Lisbon today is a one of a vibrant combination of old and

The heart of Lisbon is filled with wide avenues, green trees, modernist-style
buildings, mosaic decorations and numerous cafes. The city is now being re-
born and renovated. After many years of standing still it’s now modern, lively,
and energetic. The cosmopolitan atmosphere is reminiscent of the times when
Lisbon was the trade centre and the departure point for many sea expeditions
and world discoveries.

FRIENDLINESS
Portugal is an exceedingly friendly place. Its people are some of the most
pleasant people to be around and visiting tourists will truly have a pleasurable
experience with their hosts. Most locals will speak perfect English, without any
visible frustration and even with pleasure!
