Fifteen students travelled to Lisbon to learn about its history, culture and food. Highlights included the Rossio square, Alfama district, Chiado, and the famous No 28 tram. They visited the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos and the Cultural Centre of Belem where they had a fantastic guided tour of the Museum of Modern Art. Ricardo da Silva Esteves, IB Portuguese teacher, also took the students to Casa Pastéis de Belém, believed to be the birthplace of the famous Portuguese custard tart (Pasteis de Belem).
