Very expensive for what it is unfortunately. Impossible to take photos in the library and there are much more beautiful places elsewhere. What is incomprehensible is the visit to the science museum which is included in the price even though it is very far away. We feel that this is to inflate the price of the bill.

Local visit during the Covid era!!! People were seen very quickly!!! There's a parking lot behind the hospital, and there were spaces available the day I went!!! I couldn't get an appointment because of Covid!! But the hospital has a very good structure!! The location is also very good, very green and airy.
Terrible. Beds 40 cm apart and two behind each other. Staff too busy to communicate. Admission, medically necessary, was impossible. Instead, I spent 20 hours in the emergency room with 35 other patients. The tests were, however, as required for TIA symptoms.
Excellent and outstanding, the best hospital in Europe for liver transplantation, and not only that, but the professionals are also the best in terms of friendliness, education, and helpfulness towards the patient. They are fair and humble …
It's a shame for our country, which is advanced in many things, that the families of patients have to wait many hours for a doctor's decision that could sometimes take only 5 minutes, and there wouldn't be such large gatherings of people.

I went here to get help from the student hub (educational services). I needed to update some information in the inforestudante records. It is much better to come here instead of sending them emails. They solve the problems quickly. …
It is the oldest university in Portugal and one of the oldest in Europe. It occupies one of the top spots in the ranking of the best in the world. Its historical and artistic components are also well above average compared to others.

The courtyard of the medical school complex, including the library, chapel, and museum, is enormous. I didn't have access to the library, but the museum and chapel are worth a visit, as is the architectural complex of the University.
Everything was out of the ordinary, in the best possible way. I'd give it a 7, 8, 9, or even a 10+ because it deserves it. I have absolutely no complaints. It's simply a perfect place to go when you have serious health problems.
What can I say about the medical school? Well, I didn't even go near it, but Google thinks I did. Maybe that's why Google Maps always sends me through narrow alleys and dirt roads that ruin my car's suspension.
