How to reach the Conference Location


From the Airport

If you arrive by airplane, it is easier to take a taxi to go to your hotel, in particular if you are going to Costa da Caparica.

It is safer to buy the Taxi Voucher (week days from 7:00 to 21:00=26.44€ ; week days from 21:00 to 24:00 and weekends=31.72€) in the Airport Tourist Information Office, located at the arrivals lounge and open from 7:00 to 24:00.

The Taxi Voucher is a bit more expensive than if you pay directly to the Taxi driver, but it is much safer.

The Taxi Voucher is valid only when departing from the airport to anywhere (including Costa da Caparica) and from 7:00 to 24:00. The justification is that, when you buy a Taxi Voucher, a delegate from the Tourism Office will accpompain you to the taxi and register its licence plate. NOTE: You cannot buy a Taxi Voucher for the way back from Costa da Caparica to the Airport.
