MOW 2017

MOW 2017

It’s the 4th edition of this ultimate frisbee team tournament organized by Lisbon Ultimate Club, at Carcavelos beach, Lisbon Portugal.

HOTEL and DIRECTIONS

The hotel that you’ll be staying at is called Hotel Praia Mar in Carcavelos.

You can get there from the airport in a number of ways.
Taxi: in the airport, don’t go to the taxi’s near arrivals as these will generally try to rip you off. Instead, take a right after passing customs and go up the escalator and near that exit you can wait and hold a cab. It should take you about half an hour and expect to pay 30-35€.
Public Transport: take the red metro line to Alameda and change to the green line to Cais de Sodré. From there take the train to Carcavelos and then it’s an 8 minute walk to the hotel. Should take you about 1-1,5 hours and cost around 4€ per person.
There’s also the direct bus from the airport to Cais do Sodré train station: Aerobus

Uber does exist in Portugal. although none of us has any experience in using them here. Another option would be to try a private shuttle service (such as this: http://www.shuttledirect.com/en/php/airport_shuttle_direct.php), which sometimes offer quite competitive prices when booked in advance for groups.

The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the fields, which are in front of bar Grande Onda.
