LOCATION:  Faro, Algarve Portugal,
CONFERENCE GUIDE
How to get there
From Lisbon by train or by car or by airplane:
a) By Train
Faro has a train station and you can get here either from taking a train from Lisbon or from the Spanish border.
b) By highway or motorway
This is the most common way to get to Faro. If you are coming from Spain, you should come through the south on the E-1, the highway that connects Seville with Huelva and with Portugal. Cross the Puente del Centenario. Then take the A-22 motorway to Faro.
There are also buses from the main Portuese and Spanish cities.
c) You can go from Lisbon to Faro by airplane also since Faro has airport (Lisbon-Faro: 30 minutes flight)
