In English, please! in Porto

Porto isn’t just a city you visit, it’s a place you feel. Set along the banks of the Douro River, this northern Portuguese gem is full of character, charm, and quiet energy, making it the perfect backdrop for your learning journey.

Here, past and present live side by side. You’ll study in a city where baroque churches meet bold street art, and traditional riverside taverns sit steps away from trendy design cafés. Whether you’re exploring the narrow alleyways of the historic Ribeira district or taking in the views from Dom Luís I Bridge, Porto surrounds you with inspiration at every turn.

This course takes place right in the heart of it all, in a setting that encourages both academic focus and personal discovery. After class, enjoy a glass of world-famous Port wine, stroll along the Atlantic coast, or soak in the warmth of a city that welcomes you like a local.

Portugal’s maritime legacy may have shaped its history, but Porto’s spirit is what will shape your experience: grounded, generous, and quietly unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a destination that nurtures both your professional and personal growth, Porto is calling.
