How to get to NOVA School of Science and Technology

The campus is served by a wide transport network, including combined services (bus, train, ferry) and by tram, which terminus ("University") is located along one of the NOVA School of Science and Technology entrances.

 

Here are some suggestions, although there are other possibilities, combining public transportation.

From Lisbon ( Humberto Delgado Airport) 

 

By Metro (subway)

The Lisbon airport has a underground station (metro) with a direct line to the city centre. The Red Line (Aeroporto – S. Sebastião) takes you to the downtown in about 20 minutes. The Metro network will allow you to move around the city at ease.    
To arrive at NOVA School of Science and Technology we advise you to exchange routes at Alameda (swaping from Red to Green Line), towards Cais do Sodré, where you can find the  “Cais do Sodré” Ferry Station. Here you can take a ferryboat to “Cacilhas”. Once in Cacilhas you take a tram (MTS) to “Universidade”, hopping off on its terminus (located near one of the campus entrances).

 
By Shuttle

With frequent departures from the airport, this bus provides a link between the main city points, the Sete Rios bus terminal, the Entrecampos railway terminal, Cais do Sodré and the two terminals at the Lisbon Airport (1 and 2).

AEROBUS 1: from the Aeroporto to Cais do Sodré, with stops at: Entrecampos, Campo Pequeno, Saldanha, Picoas, Marquês, Av. Liberdade, Restauradores, Rossio and  Praça do Comércio. More information here.

 

By Taxi

There are always plenty of taxis at the Arrivals and Departures Halls. All the taxis have meters, a ride to NOVA School of Science and Technology costs approximately €20, depending on the traffic. During weekends, nights, and holidays there is a 20% surcharge.

 
By Bus

Several bus lines stop at the airport arrivals terminal, taking you to different parts of the city. However, please note that the maximum baggage size allowed in these buses is 50x40x20cm. If your baggage exceeds this size, you must take the airport's specific buses (Aerobus and Airport Shuttle).More information here and here.Please be advised that most of the routes provided here are only for Lisbon.
