Can I book a Short Stay on its own, or does it have to be combined with a longer program?

You can absolutely book a Short Stay as a standalone experience — no month-long program required. That said, many travelers love combining a Short Stay with one of our Signature Programs (for example, a month in Lisbon followed by two weeks in Porto, or a month in Paris followed by two weeks in Nice). You can also combine two Short Stays back-to-back to create a four-week experience across two cities.
