Program
This is the Program*: On April 28th we’ll meet at Terreiro do Paço in Lisbon! For the next three days we’ll stay in the capital, we’ll visit some of the most iconic gardens and then make a stop in Sintra - one of the most important historical and natural landscapes in Portugal. Then we’ll spend a day in the historic museum-city of Évora, crucial to understand how Portuguese architecture influenced Brazilian architecture. From Évora we’ll travel to Bussaco, one of the most biodiverse places in Portugal. Then we´ll spend two days in Porto the second most important metropolitan area in the country, and on May 6th we’ll end our trip in Guimarães - the first capital of Portugal, where we’ll say our goodbyes!
