Testimonials about Campus III
- Ana Patrícia, professor at Campus III
"Bananeiras is a magical city with its old houses and traditions, its mild weather and cold nights. The June festivities are very special in this city and attract tourists from all over the country. I do recommend the Café and Bistro Terraço Lisboa, with its wonderful menu and incredible view of the city. Visitors can also savor a wonderful tapioca at Serginho's or delight themselves during a stay at the Estação inn. You can also play golf in Bananeiras, do trails or rent a quad bike and drive around.”
