About Program
Study abroad in Portugal this summer with Blyth Academy International Summers!
With castles and cobblestones on the mainland and jungles and volcanoes on the horizon, Portugal offers visitors the perfect juxtaposition of old-world European culture and outdoor adventure. The first stop is Porto, a coastal city with over 2,000 years of European history, the city’s centre is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hop aboard a river cruise down the spectacular Douro Valley where students will spend some time exploring the vast mountainous landscapes and the medieval towns in-between. While in Lisbon, discover vibrant beaches, ancient ruins, white dome cathedrals, and hilltop views. After a few days in the bustle of Lisbon, retreat to the southern beaches of Algarve who's natural landscapes are a warm-up for the breathtaking islands of the Azores. Revel in the spectacular ecotourism on Sao Miguel Island by caving, hiking and visiting volcanic hot springs.
