Arrival to Porto

Participants should use Porto airport for their final destination. Airport code is OPO.

In case of arriving to Lisbon

Lisbon Airport (LIS) may be used as well, as an alternative in case of need. In this case, participants should look for a connection flight. TAP Airlines provide hourly connections every day, between 5am and midnight (these and additional flight connections can be found here: TAP Airlines or www.skyscanner.com); Train between Lisbon and Porto may be as well a possibility. In this case, participants should use one of two types of trains:

- “Alfa Pendular” is faster, around 2:30h, and has an average cost of 32€ per journey (64€ return ticket); reserved seats are provided, you should respect the seat number provided in your ticket as well as the respective train coach;

- “Intercidades” is a bit slower than Alfa, around 3:00h, and has an average cost of 24€ per journey (48€ return ticket); reserved seat numbers are provided with your ticket, you should respect them;

Promotional prices for trains may be found at CP - Portuguese Trains if bought in advance; however, in case of need to substitute for a different train, promotional tickets will not be eligible; the above-mentioned prices are last day prices (up to 5 days before the travel journey) and ticket office.

Lisbon train stations to use should be either Santa Apolónia (center town, it is a terminal station) or, preferably, Gare (the closest one to , distance of 2 metro stations using the Red Line, the Airport Line (Metro de Lisboa), or a short Taxi/Uber journey of around 5-10€); In case of using Taxi, ask in advance to the driver for an estimated price for your journey.

Porto train stations to use should always be Campanhã (interface train station) and, if necessary, São Bento (centre town, a terminal station always connecting to Campanhã station, anyway); Both Campanhã as São Bento are also served by close Metro stations Metro do Porto (Campanhã Train Station: served by all Metro Lines except the Yellow Line. São Bento Train Station: served exclusively by the Yellow Line; Connecting metro station between Yellow Line and all the other Lines is Trindade Station, located in centre town).

Using METRO in Porto

Porto Airport is connected to center town by Metro (Airport station is the terminal station of the Purple Line). In order to use Metro you should know which ticket Zone you need.

At each ticket machine you have a yellow sticker indicating all possible destination stations and the type of ticket Zone you should use from your standing point (Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4).

From the airport to centre town (for instance Trindade, Aliados, São Bento,…) you need to buy a Z4 ticket (costs around 2,00€ ticket plus 0,60€ for the re-usable card ticket). The ticket name is “Andante”.

You need to buy one Andante re-usable ticket per person.

For a possible further ticket purchase you just need to re-charge the Andante card BUT you may need to select “Change ticket Zone” in order to buy a ticket for a different zone from the one you originally bought it (Z2 or Z3, for example).

You need to VALIDATE your ticket before entering the Metro and everytime you change the line! To do so you need to approximate the card to the yellow validating machines and be sure the machine returns you a green light – you may repeat the procedure until you are sure it is done. You then have 1 hour to use the ticket after validation, always, of course, within the same Ticket Zone! (you cannot go to a Z4 area having only a Z3 valid ticket, naturally, whilst the opposite is of course possible).

Getting to the Meeting Venue

In Porto you should use Metro Yellow Line (in case you are closer to a train station not served by the Yellow Line, be sure to change the line at Trindade metro Station – this is the only interface station between the Yellow line and the remaining lines; At Trindade, you should follow the Yellow Line direction towards Hospital S. João, its terminal station at the required direction for the meeting).

When in the Yellow Line metro station, you should take the Metro indicating destination “Hospital São João”, in order to reach “IPO” station (or “Hospital São João” station, also a possibility).

The meeting venue Associação ACREDITAR do Porto, Rua Académico Futebol Club 364, 4200-602 Porto, Portugal https://www.google.com/maps/place/Associa%C3%A7%C3%A3o+Acreditar/@41.1835545,- 8.6073083,340m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0xd2464372feb410b:0xf4610be467f8f9ec!8m2! 3d41.1838612!4d-8.6072993

(In Google Maps you only see a green area, but currently there is a building at the place, don’t worry  )

In order to get there, follow the instructions:

1. Get out of Metro Yellow Line at IPO station; 2. Cross the road to the opposite side and enter the IPO parking door:

IPO parking Door

3. Follow this path inside IPO parking zone:

Reaching ACREDITAR by using the IPO Parking cross walk.

(the idea is to cross the entire buildings’ complex reaching its backside, from where you entered, and getting out by the extreme right door).

Alternative path

Alternative path is to get out of Terminal Station, Hospital S. João and follow the road to ACREDITAR. Although possibly closer, this track follows along a high traffic road where usually walking areas are taken by parked cars, turning it harder, and a bit dangerous, for pedestrians; for this reason we do not recommend this pathway so much:

Reaching ACREDITAR by the main Road, from Hospital S. João Metro Station

Hotels

We do not provide specific recommendations for Hotel as your choices are depending on different variables (prices, places of your preference, facilities you prefer, etc, etc).

However, we do offer you a non-exhaustive list of possibilities, either close to the meeting venue, either close to Porto Centre Town (easily linked by Metro in a quick way).
