Registration desk
The registration desk, located in the hall of Auditorium 1 (1st Floor, Tower B; the tall building on the right after the main entrance of FCSH), will be open at 8:00am on September 19.
Getting from the airport
Lisbon Portela Airport is located near the conference venue (about 15 minutes by car ride; 45 minutes by metro), which itself is about 2-3km from the city centre.
We recommend using the metro or taxi/car service (Uber) to get to/from the airport and for around the city.
– There is a direct Metro line from the airport to the city (Linha Vermelha/Red Line, direction São Sebastião), and from the end of the line, São Sebastião metro station, to the conference venue is approximately a 10-minute walk.
– By taxi from the airport to central Lisbon should cost €10-15, plus baggage (€1.60/per piece) and call-out charges (€0.80). Taxis charge 25% more after 10 pm and on weekends. Uber is also an alternative and may be marginally more economic.
– Google Maps is very useful in Lisbon, offering estimates of prices/times for your travel with public (metro/buses) and private transportation (ride services like Uber)
– There is also an Aerobus which connects Lisbon Airport to the city centre. Tickets may be purchased onboard and cost €3.60.
Getting around the city
Public Transportation
– Lisbon Metro has four main lines: Yellow (Rato – Odivelas); Green (Cais-do-Sodré – Telheiras); Blue (Santa Apolónia – Amadora Este); Red (S. Sebastião – Airport).
– CARRIS offers a network of buses, trams and elevators that covers almost every part of the city.
First metro train departures is at 6:30 am and the last train at 1:00 am from the terminal stations of each line.
Carris/Metro Tickets can be purchased and recharged at ticket offices or vending machines inside the stations. The initial card costs €0.50 onto which you may charge it by trips (€1.50/trip) or top it up with cash amounts (“zapping” or prepaid travel credit; €1.33/trip). This ticket can be used on all local subway, buses, trams, elevators and certain ferries.
Do note that tickets may be recharged endlessly with trips/cash. Bus/tram/elevator tickets can also be purchased on board, but cost considerably more expensive (trams: €3; elevators: €3.80)

Ride services (Taxi/Uber)
Taxis can be a good choice, especially at night when there is low traffic. Taxi fares are calculated on the basis of an initial flat charge, currently 3,25 Euros during the day and 3,90 Euros at night.
Other ride services (Uber/myTaxi/Cabify) are also present in Lisbon and may be more economic than taxis. Use Google Maps and/or their apps for more info.
