Lisbon is situated on the mouth of the river Tagus and is Europe’s most westerly capital of mainland Europe. It’s one of the continent’s oldest cities, even pre-dating Rome and is the most fascinating city to explore. With its hilly terrain, you’ll often find a viewpoint while strolling around the city, whether you’re on the way to the Castle of Sao Jorge or exploring the tiny streets of Moorish Alfama. Lisbon makes a great off-season school music tour (hyperlink to home page) destination and there will always be exciting things to discover, from the Oceanarium, Europe’s third largest, in the east, to the more traditional and historical sights of Jeronimos Monastery and the Belem Tower to the west of the city.
Our partners in Lisbon organise some fantastic experiences for our groups, always guaranteeing plentiful and appreciative audiences. Venues include the atmospheric ruins of Carmo Convent in the heart of the city, and the opulent recital room of Palacio Foz. Whatever your ensemble type, there are venues to suit all tastes and styles of music.

The most pleasant times of year to come to Europe are May to September, therefore you may wish to consider this when planning your tour. Summer temperatures across Europe range from 18-35 degrees Celsius. European cities in winter can also offer many interesting cultural experiences that you may enjoy.
We can send you mini-brochures to hand out at your rehearsals and a PowerPoint presentation for assemblies and parent’s meetings you may wish to hold. We also have a promotional poster to put up around your school, which you can download here. This will make it easier for you to get your students excited about your plans.
