[PastCaring]

Yes, it's outside the city - on the coast at a place called Alges. And yes, drinks are a lot cheaper in Portugal than in, for example, Spain.

Gomez added. Not seen them for a few years, but were brilliiant last time I did!

Not a huge name anymore, but def one of the most underrated british bands of the last decade imo!

just booked our flights to Lisbon! Anyone know exactly how to get to the venue using public transport from the downtown Lisbon area? Would be much appreciated. Also, anyone know when more acts will be announced? Especially the headliner on the saturday night! Could be interesting, if not then i'll pass on that day.

guys can you help me for transport to the city? concerts ending very late and my hotel is close to parque Gulbenkian / Eduardo VII, how do I return to my hotel from Alges?

[diogo]

Hi. Ending the shows you have free bus but only for the camping park of Lisbon, so the other options are:

-Catch a taxi but normally there are very long queues, I think it's not a good ideia;

-Catch a bus, I think they only go to Cais do Sodré but maybe there are some buses that goes to other places. Normally there are long queues also.

-The other option is go by train to Cais do Sodré and there catch a bus or a taxi to the hotel area. Normally I catch the train and after a taxi to go home. If you come back by train I recommend you to buy the train ticket when you go to the festival.

The best way to go to the festival, from the hotel is to catch the underground at S.Sebastiao, near Gulbenkian and go to Baixa Chiado. At Baixa Chiado you change for the green line and catch the underground until Cais do Sodre. After that train to Algés.

Probably at the official site you have more information about the transports.

Cheers

thank you diogo,

but in your opinion/experience the taxi from alges to the city centre is very expensive or due to the festival the rates are more affordable? i'm not idea how much can cost a trip from alges to lisbon centre......

[diogo]

I don't know how much cost the taxi but normally the queues are big and from Alges to Lisboa the tarif changes. From Cais de Sodre the taxi costs 7 or 8 euros until S.Sebastiao. From Alges I think it costs 20e.

[davalex]

good,

probably the best solution for me is: bus from Alges to Cais Do Sodre and taxi from Cais to Praca de Espanha.

thanks again Diogo.
