🛴 Scooter or bike

  • Lisbon has a considerable network of light mobility operators, public and private;
  • If you choose to use one of these solutions, make sure that you end the trip in an authorized parking spot and the vehicle is not left on the way of people and other vehicles;
  • If you use your own bicycle or scooter, Metro de Lisboa, CP and Fertagus authorize the transportation free of charge, but you should check the service conditions in advance;

🚙 Car, taxi or others (Uber, Bolt, Free Now…)

  • If you’re coming from outside Lisbon and are staying in the city, consider not bringing your car to the event and using public transportation, light mobility solutions or maybe even take a walk;
  • If you still want to come by car in your GPS search for “Rua Branca Edmée Marques” and when you arrive park in the public parking spots outside or paid parks available in the area;
    • Attention: on the WordCamp weekend there’s a “end of the scholar year” event at the universities adjacent to ISCTE, so if you plan on parking in the are, it’s best to arrive early;
  • If you’re traveling by taxi or other (such as a Uber), ask to be taken to the intersection of “Rua Branca Edmée Marques” with “Rua Prof. António Flores”
  • ISCTE entrance is at the end of the street, on a pedestrian-only path;
