Sintra and Óbidos visit (July 19th)
This is an all-day tour that departs from Hotel Olissippo Oriente at
9:00 AM and returns to Lisbon after dinner. The visit's fee
includes everything, the transport, a light lunch, a couple of
surprise treats and dinner. You are advised to use comfortable
shoes, and since the return will be late, a light coat.
We'll start by visiting
Sintra which
is a UNESCO's World Heritage Site. Then, after a light lunch,
will take a short trip to "Cabo da Roca" the westernmost point
in continental Europe,
"...where the land ends and the sea begins..."
Luís Vaz de Camões
The afternoon will be dedicated to
Óbidos, a medieval town
that still thrives behind its defensive walls. Besides its
amazing beauty you'll have the opportunity to visit the medieval
fair... We'll have dinner there before returning to Lisbon.
Conference dinner (July 22nd)
The conference dinner will be at 20h00 in:
Adega do Cais
Cais da Viscondessa
Rua da Cintura - Santos
See the maps bellow for the location of the
restaurant (blue knife & fork) and the closest subway
station ("Cais do Sodré").
There will be a bus leaving from
Hotel Olissippo Oriente at 19h00. If
you want to get there on your own, the best way is to go to the
"Cais do Sodré" subway station (last station on the Green
line), and then, either walk (see detailed map bellow) or take a
tram in front of the train station (any will do) and get out at
the "Santos" tram stop (2nd stop after you
get in).
After dinner the bus will take you back to
Parque das Nações.
