Getting There and Moving Around

Both the workshop and conference venue is easily accessible by subway from the airport or train stations. The subway system is not complicated with three lines (red - vermelha, blue - azul, yellow - amarela). The airport has a station (Aeroporto) directly at the arrivals of Terminal 1. The conference venue is located close to the station São Sebastião and the workshop venue close to Saldanha; the stations are ca. 15 min walking distance between each other. The subway takes 20-30 min from the airport to the center. More information can be found at the Lisbon metro website.

Subway is a quick way to get around the city but buses and trams (watch out for pickpockets) are also available. If you have enough time, you can walk pretty much anywhere - it's roughly 30 min by foot to the city center from the conference venue. These days many shared means of transport also exist: electric scooters (e.g. lime or hive), Uber bicycles JUMP (uses the same app as Uber taxi). There are also dockable bicycles GIRA.
