social activities
Torre dos Clerigos and Lello bookshop
The Torre dos Clérigos and the nearby Lello bookshop (see above) are two of the most emblemmatic symbols of Porto
Right in the heart of the city and close to inlingua no visit to Porto is complete without a climb to the top of the Torre dos Clérigos and a browse (and a coffee?) in the Lello bookshop - voted by the English national press as the most beautiful custom built bookshop in the world.
a drink in the Ribeira
The Portuguese love to sit and chat in cafés. The Ribeira district in Porto, just next to the river, is the perfect place to do just that.
And your Portugese teacher will be with you to make sure that you and your colleagues do it in Portuguese! Portuguese coffee is great - and there are all sorts of teas and soft drinks on offer. But a beer or a glass of wine might help you speak more fluently!
Dinner in a typical restaurant
Speak Portuguese and enjoy the delights of Portuguese cuisine
Inevitably, one of the highlights of the week is having lunch or dinner with colleagues from your class. The Portuguese are justifiably proud of their world famous cuisine. The variety and quality is amazing - as is the good value. Your teacher will be there too to make sure everyone is speaking in Portuguese!
Tram ride in Porto
A tram ride through town is a great way to see the city and experience the best of Porto
Starting with a visit to the Porto tram museum, this excursion ends with a tram ride through the town. A unique experience. With your teacher on hand you will be able to practice your Portuguese at the same time.
