LISBON
INFORMATION
The Forum will be held in Lisbon,
hosted by ISCTE.
Arrival
Lisbon can be reached by air, rail and road. The
International Airport is located inside the city.
Bus and taxi services to and from airport provide
easy access to the city center and in hotels.
Taxi
Taxi is a convenient way to go from the airport
to the Hotel. A ride from the airport to the hotels
should be approximately €7-€10. They
can charge you an extra €1.50 for luggage
in the trunk. The total should not exceed 12 Euros
(slightly higher if late at night). You are expected
to take no more than 15 minutes (without traffic).
Taxi Voucher
If you want to take a taxi, but avoid the possibility
of being overcharged by the taxi driver, then
you can also use the “Taxi Voucher”
service. With this service, you can buy a voucher
at a booth (Turismo de Lisboa) located in the
airport lobby just outside the arrivals gate.
The person at this booth will go with you and
pay the taxi driver. The service is about €14
flat fee for a ride from the airport to any part
of central Lisbon. This is higher than the normal
taxi fare, but lower than some cases of overcharging
by the taxi driver.
Aero-Bus

in the city center of Lisbon. Get out at the first
stop "Entrecampos" (2.35 €), if
you are coming directly to the conference site.
