The NOVA School of Science and
Technology location couldn’t be more
perfect. The proximity to Lisbon,
Almada and Caparica, makes it easy to
enjoy the campus life and soon after
be transported to the vibrant cultural
scene in the capital of Portugal, with its
world-class restaurants, rich history,
dynamic heritage scene and exciting
nightlife, considered to be among the
best in Europe. Almada also provides a
lot of animation, especially in Cacilhas.
This waterfront neighborhood became
the meeting point for good social
setting. And don’t forget to check out
Caparica’s coastline. The long strip of
white sandy coast is perfect to relax
