From Oporto

The Francisco Sa Carneiro airport in Oporto is 11 km away from the city, so getting a taxi from there to the railway station is quite expensive (20-25€, with 20 per cent surcharge in the evenings and weekends). The easiest and less costly way will be to take the Metro. The direction to it is signposted throughout the aiport, so just follow the signs and take Line E (Violeta) from the airport to the Campanhã railway station. Metro trains run about every 20 minutes from early morning until after midnight. That will take about 32 minutes and cost 2,20€ – a Z4 (zone four) ticket.
Coimbra hastworailway stations: Coimbra A (Estação Nova) and Coimbra B (Estação Velha).
Three types of train services are available from the Campanhã railway station: Alfa Pendular service (fastest), the Intercidades and regional trains.
The Alfa trains run almost every hour and take an hour to get to Coimbra B (16,5€). Intercidades takes slightly more than an hour and cost 13€.
The regional train service, which includes a timed transfer at Aveiro, takes 2 hours but runs directly to the downtown Coimbra A station and costs 7,95€.
Long distance trains (Alfa Pendular and Intercidades) arrive at Coimbra B and you can take the connecting train to Coimbra A (your train ticket covers this short journey).
From Coimbra A you can catch a bus to the conference location, Faculty of Economics (FEUC). If you wish to come straight to FEUC, we suggest you take a taxi from the station. You may find more information on how to get to FEUC below.
