From the airport:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisbon airport<\/a> is right in the city. There are three basic ways to travel from \/ to the airport<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1) Metro (\u20ac 1.25)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The airport is on the Red Line, which connects with every other metro line – and gets you directly to the\u00a0S\u00e3o Sebasti\u00e3o (terminal station), some 10min walk from the conference venue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Metro map is available here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The machines that sell metro passes have instructions in English and accept Euro coins and notes, as well as most debit \/ credit cards. We recommend buying a “Viva viagem card<\/em>” (\u20ac0.50) and topping it up with the amount you will spend (\u20ac5, \u20ac10, \u20ac15). It’s called “zapping<\/em>“. You can use this card\u00a0 on any public transportation, including metro, buses, famous Lisbon trams and escalators, ferry boats, and local trains. One trip will cost you \u20ac1.25<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2) Aerobus (\u20ac 3.50) \/ Public Bus (\u20ac 1.25 – \u20ac 1.80)<\/strong><\/p>\n

For more information, see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Public buses which take you to nearby the conference area (Campo Pequeno, Saldanha,\u00a0Marqu\u00eas Pombal): 744, 783.\u00a0 See here<\/a> for routes and timetables.<\/p>\n

3) Taxi (\u20ac 10 – \u20ac 15)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisbon taxis are quite cheap, although, according to the testimony of our Canadian colleague, “I find drivers tend to overcharge foreigners departing from the airport”.<\/p>\n

A normal fare<\/span> from the airport to the conference area is around \u20ac 10<\/span>, to the centre of the old town around \u20ac 13-15.<\/p>\n

Note, the meter should be on tariff 1, the starting fee\u00a0 \u20ac 3.40 (or \u20ac 3.90 on weekends \/ nights). You will be charged \u20ac 1.60\u00a0extra for using the boot (it’s one fee, NOT per suitcase!).<\/p>\n

Well, Good Luck!<\/p>\n

Around Lisbon:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same information applies:<\/p>\n

Metro Lisboa<\/a> serves four interconnected lines.<\/p>\n

Carris<\/a> runs a network of buses and trams.<\/p>\n

You can use the same card on all public transportation – standard fee is \u20ac 1.25 per ride.<\/p>\n

Taxis are easy to recognise and wave on the streets (NYC style) – within city they should cost you \u20ac 5 – \u20ac 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
