By taxi<\/b><\/p>

<\/b>We recommend installing the Bolt taxi app to get around Portugal. It\u2019s cheaper than in most other European cities.
<\/span>A Bolt ride from the airport to the hotel will cost approximately \u20ac25-30 and take about 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>

By metro, train & bus.<\/b><\/p>

<\/b>We recommend using Google Maps to plan for public transport routes and schedules.<\/span><\/p>

To reach Cascais from Lisbon, you can use commuter trains departing from Cais do Sodr\u00e9 station every 20-30 minutes. The Cascais train ride takes around 40 minutes with splendid views of the ocean.<\/span><\/p>

  1. Use the metro.
    <\/b>You can get to the Cais do Sodr\u00e9 station from the airport by metro in about half an hour with one transfer at Alameda station. In Lisbon’s metro, you can pay for your trip with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay by simply tapping your phone (with a watch or card) at the entrance.

    <\/span><\/li>
  2. Buy tickets to Cascais at the station<\/b>.
    Train tickets can be purchased or loaded onto your card only at machines at the station or at the ticket counter. You can either pay for a specific station (\u20ac2.5 one way to Cascais) or use it as an electronic wallet (Zapping system) that can be used on Lisbon’s metro, buses, and trains.\u00a0 There is now way to buy tickets for Cascais trains online.

    <\/span><\/li>
  3. When you arrive at Cascais<\/b>
    (It\u2019s the final destination station), you can go to Oitavos hotel by taxi or bus.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>


    A taxi from the final Cascais station to the hotel will cost around \u20ac5-6 and take 10-15 minutes. You can also take buses to the “S. Jorge de Oitavos” stop, with bus numbers M05 (stop at “Cascais Terminal,” about 20 minutes) and M43 (an express bus directly from the station, 15 minutes). Please note that to signal the bus to stop, you must press the red “stop” button on board. If you’re waiting at a bus stop, raise your hand to signal your intention to board; otherwise, the bus may pass you by.\u00a0<\/p>

    NB! <\/b>The distance from the bus stop to the hotel is 700 meters on foot. We are working together with the municipality to make a temporary stop right at the hotel entrance to skip the walk for the days of the event. We will make an announcement, if that happens.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    In mid-November, Portugal starts to cool down. It’s not shorts and t-shirt weather, especially if it’s a windy day. The average temperature during this time of the year is around 16-18\u00b0C, but it can go up to 20-22\u00b0C during the day, and it can drop to around 10\u00b0C at night. Rain usually starts later in December, allowing you to enjoy the autumn sun for most of the day while wearing a sweater or a light jacket.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    In most of the places in Portugal you can pay with an international debit or credit card.<\/span><\/p>

    But we still recommend carrying a small amount of cash with you.<\/span><\/p>

    In some smaller shops in Cascais you can pay with a card only when you spend over 10 EUR.<\/span><\/p>

    You can withdraw cash from any ATM, but not more than \u20ac200 at a time.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Portuguese is not the easiest language, but in the service industry and especially in a tourist destination like Cascais, you’ll likely be able to communicate in English. Here are a few common phrases that might come in handy for greetings and thanking locals in their native language:<\/span><\/p>
