Lisbon, Portugal

About this trip

Bem-vindos to MIT Sloan! What better way to get to know your new classmates than on a journey through the historic cities and stunning coasts of Portugal! After orientation, join us to form lasting bonds as we enjoy a blend of the country's rich history and natural beauty during the day, and unparalleled wine and nightlife in the evenings. We'll explore the charming neighborhoods of Lisbon, indulge in the historic wine cellars of Porto, and soak up the sun on golden Comporta beaches. Nini Kvirikashvili (MBA '24), Lexi Leija (MBA '24), and William Zheng (MBA '24) have a shared appreciation for Portugal's rich history and culture, and are thrilled to be able to plan this experience for you all!
