PASC WINTER SCHOOL

The Meeting will take place in the Hotel do Mar (Hotel of the Sea). All details regarding the School (hotel, lunch and dinner party) are taken care by the Secretariat.

The dinner party of the School will be, at 20.30 hours on 18 of December, in the restaurant O Peralta in Aldeia do Meco (a small village nearby). A bus will transport the participants, at 20.00 hours, from the hotel to the restaurant.

Sesimbra is a village in the pensinsula of Setúbal, 32 km just south of Lisbon (++). From Lisbon, at Praça de Espanha (which is also an underground-Metro stop), there is a bus going to Sesimbra. Praça de Espanha is a big square and the bus-stop is situated on its Western side. Please consult the time table of the bus going to Sesimbra: bus 207 of bus company TST.

From the airport to Praça de Espanha in Lisbon, you can either take a taxi (and expect to pay around 15 euros) or the bus + the Metro.
To go by bus, at the airport you can take bus 745, bus 83, or the special tourist Aerobus** to bus-stop Marquês de Pombal and then take the Metro to Praça de Espanha. Consult the Lisbon city bus company and/or the Metro. If you plan to catch a taxi at the airport, catch one at the departures, instead of at the arrivals. Taxi drivers in Lisbon are honest, but at the airport arrivals, it pays to be cautious.

The Metro has vending machines: ticket around 1.20 Euro. To ride the busses, you buy a ticket from the driver: normal busses inside Lisbon 1.40 Euro, special tourist Aerobus around 4 Euros. Be sure to have small change and coins with you.

Additional information:
The Home Institute of CFTP and CENTRA is Instituto Superior Técnico, IST, in Lisbon. The campus of IST has four gates: Alameda, Antonio de Almeida, Alves Redol, Rovisco Pais. From the airport to IST campus you can take a taxi or a bus: bus 22. Several buses and also the Metro take you to our campus. The best underground stop is Alameda, although the one at Saldanha is also whithin walking distance. You can find the underground map here. When you get out at Alameda our campus is not far, at the top of the hill. To ride the Metro you can buy tickets at the vending machines inside any of the stations. Also buses 18, 22, 40, 718, 720, 767 (and bus 60, but only in the weekends) stop close to one of the gates of the campus (Av Rovisco Pais). In addition, bus 745, bus 83, and the special tourist Aerobus**, all stoping at the airport, stop also at Saldanha.

**This special tourist Aerobus (= bus 91) goes from the airport all the way to the Cascais-Estoril railway station (Cais do Sodré) near the river Tagus, and stops at the main avenues and squares in the centre of Lisbon, e.g. Avenida da Républica, Saldanha, Marquês de Pombal, Avenida da Liberdade, Rossio and Praça do Comércio.
