São Jorge Castle, Lisbon

Satisfy any sweet tooths this morning by heading to Belém, where you’ll get to taste the world-famous Pasteis de Belém served fresh from the monastery that created them. While you’re there, admire sights such as the Padrão dos Descobrimentos monument, the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and the Torre de Belém, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Once you’re full on pastries and sightseeing, make your way to MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology). Inside this stunning building, your students can explore the ways in which we imagine, create and inhabit our world. It’s a real cultural journey!

Wake up early and cherish the early-morning sun – there’s still plenty left to see! Make your way to the Parques das Nacões area for your first stop, where you can visit the Oceanarium and see the spectacular array of fish and marine life.

Head south into the city centre for an afternoon exploring the São Jorge Castle. Walk around this majestic 11th-century citadel and take in the view of the city once again – there’s always time for another photo!

Channel your inner Indiana Jones and check out the National Archaeology Museum, where you’ll see some astounding ancient art and fragments of the past. If you’d prefer, take a trip to the National Tile Museum – a celebration of the famous Portuguese Azulejo ceramic tiles that adorn houses across Lisbon and the world.

Wander through the quaint streets while you still have time, then grab your bags and head to the airport. Remember to dip into a bakery for one last Pastel de Belém before you board!
