Transportation and Accomodation

 

Below, we provide the options available for getting from the Lisboa airport to Setúbal.

The ICEIS organizing committee has made some special agreements with a few hotels that have accepted to lower their normal prices for the benefit of the ICEIS conference speakers and other delegates. The list of hotels, including the prices for double and single rooms, and the phone and fax contacts, is provided below.

Important notice: These hotels are the only ones that provide a shuttle that connects with the conference site. A conference bus will be provided to pick up the delegates, drive them from the hotel to the conference site early in the morning, and drive them, later in the afternoon, from the conference site back to the hotel. This service will be available during the workshops and conference days (6-10 July). The specific timetable will be indicated later.
