Accomodation & Travel Information
If you're arriving to Portugal through Lisbon, you'll have bus and train transportation. It's a 3:30 to 4 hour travel. These are the links to the websites, so you can check timetables:
Train (portuguese word: comboio): http://cp.pt/passageiros/en/
Bus (portuguese word: expresso or autocarro): www.rede-expressos.pt
In case you'll be arriving through Oporto, bus will be your only option. The distance to Covilhã is fairly the same.
There's also the possibility of renting a car at the airport, in case you prefer and find it more convenient. From Lisbon, the access to Covilhã is made through A1 and A23 freeways; from Oporto, through A1, A25 and A23.
Covilhã has some very affordable options to stay in. It's a small and safe town, and the University is at a walking distance of most of the hotels. Below there's a list of some of the options, all of them central and at an easy distance from the conference:
HOTEL SOLNEVE
HOTEL COVILHÃ JARDIM
COVILHÃ PARQUE HOTEL
RESIDENCIAL SANTA EUFÉMIA
HOTEL MELIÁ D. MARIA
HOTEL TURISMO
These last two (Meliá D. Maria and Hotel Turismo) are not as near, so you would probably need to call for a taxi. All the others are at a walking distance of 10 to 15 minutes from the University.
If, when opening the link, you find they don't have the information in english, we suggest you try Booking.com, inserting the name of the hotels.
