TRANSPORTS

Arrival Instructions Portugal
Portugal lies in the Southwest of the Iberian Peninsula bordered from North to South by the Atlantic Ocean, with its 800 km of coastline.
The city is blessed by a sheer variety of beautiful landscaping and all year round, perfect mild climate, golden sandy beaches and excellent food and wines, not forgetting the warmth and charm of its people.
Portugal, with its medieval walled cities, ancient castles, palaces and old monuments, combined with the excitement and sophistication of the modern world, is definitely one of the most exotic and perfect destinations for congresses and conferences.

Lisbon
Lisbon is a surprising destination. It is a lively international city with a population of one and a half million, offering a fascinating combination of the old and the new and a beauty all of its own.
The city offers a wide variety of options to the visitor, including beaches, countryside, mountains and areas of historical interest, only a few kilometers away from the city centre.
Lisbon's position, on seven low hills beside a river, once lured traders and settlers, and it's still a stunning site. Add to that its cultural diversity, laid-back feel and architectural time warp, and you have one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe.
At Lisbon's heart there are wide tree-lined avenues graced by Art Nouveau buildings, mosaic pavements and street cafés. Seen from the river - one of the city's many great viewpoints - Lisbon is an impressionist picture of low-rise ochre and pastel, punctuated by church towers and domes.
