About Porto

Living and studying in Porto

Dotted with churches, monuments, and museums, the city of Porto has one of the richest artistic, cultural, and historical heritages in Portugal.

Porto is also a city that can be discovered in a small alleyway or on a narrow street corner; on a morning walk along the Douro River or during lunch in Ribeira; watching the sunset from a terrace in Foz, or at a table in a traditional restaurant; and always in dialogue with the “knowledge of Port Wine” of its inhabitants.

Porto has been named the Best Destination in Europe on three occasions and is one of the most vibrant and eclectic cities in Europe.

At FEP, you will find a dynamic, welcoming academic community ready to support you every step of the way.

At FEP, you will find excellent teaching in an international environment, surrounded by culture, tradition, and a unique energy. All this in one of the most incredible cities in Europe.
