How to get from the Airport to the City
Lisbon's main airport is 10 km (6 mi) from the conference venue at ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics & Management, Universidade de Lisboa.
Taxis are the easiest way to get into the city center and are available outside the airport. The journey to city center takes about 20 minutes. All of the taxis have digital meters and must run them. The cost of getting from the airport to the (city center) is about 15 euros daytime. Most taxis do not accept credit cards. It is not necessary to tip taxi drivers. You can queue for taxis outside the arrivals exit.
You may alternatively take the Metro (subway). It may be quicker and will certainly be cheaper. The Airport station is on the red line, taking you to Saldanha station in just 15 minutes and to the city center Baixa-Chiado station (a change of line is needed) in about 25 minutes. You can buy the one-way ticket for 1.90 euros or the daily pass for 6 euros, allowing you to use the Metro, buses, trams, funiculars, elevator and trains). Both types of ticket are issued on rechargeable cards so do not throw them away.

The Metro stations closest to ISEG are either Rato (yellow line) or Cais do Sodré (green line). Then, you may prefer a nice 20 minute walk or to catch a bus. At Rato you have either 706 (heading towards Cais do Sodré) or 727 and at Cais do Sodré you have 706 (heading towards Est. Sta. Apolónia). In any case, you should leave the bus at the Assembleia da República (the Parliament) stop.

The Santos train station, on the Lisbon-Cascais suburban line, is only a 10 minute walking away from ISEG. The 706 bus also stops there on its way from Cais do Sodré to Assembleia da República.
The Local Organizing Committee has arranged discounted rates with several hotels for the EcoMod2016 participants. Rooms at the special rates are available on a first come, first-served basis.
