Location
All events part of DisCoTec'09 will take place in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon[1].
Orientation
The main campus of the University of Lisbon[2], known as "Cidade Universitária", is located near Campo Grande[3].
All sorts of information about the bus transportation system in Lisbon, including an interactive route planner, can be found in the CARRIS[4] web site. The underground (metro) web site[5] also features a network diagram and other useful information.
Tickets can be purchased in all buses and at all metro (underground/subway) stations; some metro stations are manned but they all have vending machines (that often give change). It is cheaper to buy a carnet of tickets. Carnets of bus tickets are not sold on the buses. They can be bought at special selling points (there is one at Campo Pequeno and another one at Sete Rios). Carnets of metro tickets can be bought at metro stations, namely from the vending machines.
Further tourist information about Lisbon can be found here[6].
From the Airport
A taxi ride from the airport to the centre should cost you around 8/10 Euro, including charges for the luggage carried in the boot. A taxi can take up to 4 passengers.

The ticket is around 2.2 Euro and can be purchased in the bus. This ticket is valid for another bus or tram ride on the same day. The bus ride will take you around 10 to 20 minutes depending on the traffic.
