Homage dinner
At the end of the Workshop, there will be a homage dinner (subject to prior registration) at the restaurant "Casa do Leão" in Castelo de São Jorge, starting at 19:30. Participants who registered for the dinner are encouraged to use the metro ticket given at the registration desk, together with the conference material. Here are some useful directions to get to the restaurant:
Here is a map with all these directions, just follow the green arrows (dashed lines means "elevator").
Still, you can always use a not so green alternative and go by car: there is a silo where you can park, located in the supermarket Pingo Doce building in Largo do Chão do Loureiro. From there, just follow the rest of the directions.
- If you are at the conference venue (Faculdade de Ciências), go to the Campo Grande metro station, choose the Green line towards Cais do Sodré and exit at Rossio station, choosing the exit that indicates Praça da Figueira.
- From the square Praça da Figueira, follow the street Rua dos Fanqueiros (at the southeast corner of the square) until number 178 and get on the public elevator that you will find inside the building, coming out at the street Rua da Madalena.
- From there, you must cross the street and the adjacent two squares, Largo Adelino Amaro da Costa and Largo do Chão do Loureiro, to the entrance of the supermarket Pingo Doce. Inside you should take the panoramic elevator (alternatively you can go up the stairs to the right side of the building) to the top floor.
- Then, turn right onto the street Costa do Castelo, continue along the street Rua do Milagre de Santo António, and turn left to go up the street Rua Bartolomeu de Gusmão. At the end of this street, turn left to enter the outer perimeter of the castle walls and from there follow the indications to the castle.
