Travel Information
The 2nd International Caparica Conference in Antibiotic Resistance took place on 12th–15th June 2017 at ALDEIA DOS CAPUCHOS GOLF & SPA, a village near Lisbon, close to the area’s beaches. The notes below summarise the practical guidance that was published for delegates travelling from abroad.
Arriving in Portugal
International attendees were advised to plan their journey to the venue area ahead of the conference dates, allowing time for the connection between arrival airport and the coastal region where Caparica is located. Travellers combining the meeting with a visit to Lisbon could use the ferry connection to Cacilhas to reach the city from the venue area.
Getting around
Once at the venue, the resort setting means most conference movements — sessions, meals and poster areas — take place on site. Excursions to Lisbon and the surrounding coast were arranged through the ferry station route, with transportation provided to Cacilhas for those wishing to visit the city.
Accommodation. Rooms were booked directly with the venue, ALDEIA DOS CAPUCHOS GOLF & SPA, rather than through online travel agencies, so that group availability and conference arrangements could be confirmed. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were included for delegates staying at the venue.
International attendees
Travel early and allow for connection time before reaching Caparica.
Local transfers
Transportation to the Cacilhas ferry station is available from the venue area for visits to Lisbon.
On-site stay
Meals are included for delegates and accompanying persons booked at the venue.
Further details
Additional venue, booking and transport information is collected on the venue page, including directions to the ferry station and booking contacts.
