IST has four entrance gates. The front one is in Avenida Manuel da Maia. It has a big flight of stairs and it faces a green park going downhill. There are also stairs in the entrance of Rua Alves Redol. This is the closest entrance to the meeting rooms.
The two other entrances allow for cars to enter. As a result they have guards. Pedestrians may enter freely, there is no need to show any identification.
Airport
The Aeroporto de Lisboa (Humberto Delgado Airport) is an international airport located in the city of Lisbon.
- The METRO connects the airport directly to the city centre. From the airport, Técnico can be easily reached by taking the Red line to Saldanha station. We recommend this option instead of Alameda, as it avoids the steep uphill walk between Alameda station and Técnico. Alternatively, you can take a taxi/Uber/Bolt for less than 10€.
