12 Lifelong Learning LLP/ERASMUS In the academic year 2007/2008, the Socrates/Erasmus program reaches an end and is replaced by the new LLP - Lifelong Learning Program. LLP's first stage is scheduled for 2007/2013. The Lifelong Learning Programme comprises four sectoral programmes on school education (Comenius), higher education (Erasmus), vocational training (Leonardo da Vinci) and adult education (Grundtvig), and is completed by a transversal programme focusing on policy cooperation, languages, information and communication technology and dissemination and exploitation of results. Finally, a Jean Monnet programme focuses on European integration and support for certain key institutions and associations active in the field. Lifelong Learning Programme is an action plan of the European Community in the field of education and training. Its global goal is, in collaboration with the participating countries, to help students of all ages and social groups to improve their knowledge. Under Erasmus (one of the sectorial sub-programmes of the LLP), students can study in any other eligible Higher Education Institution, for a period of minimum three months and not exceeding one year. This period must follow a programme of studies, academically recognized by each home University. The mobility of students also includes student placements in enterprises, training centers, research centers and other organizations. The aim of the new programme is to contribute through lifelong learning to the development of the Community as an advanced knowledge society, with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. It aims to foster interaction, cooperation and mobility between education and training systems within the Community, so that they become a world quality reference. 11

18 Language Requirements You can also choose classes that are not lectured in English. For those classes, lectures are given in Portuguese; a reasonable knowledge of the language is essential. However, language competence is not an entrance requirement. There are different Portuguese language courses to which you may apply in Lisbon. In recent years this school has provided students with a Portuguese language course. It is aimed at providing the basic tools of the Portuguese language in order to make things easier for your studies among us and in your daily life in Portugal. This course is free of charge for exchange students. When you arrive, you can sign up for the course and pay a fee of 50 euros, which will be given back to you at the end of the course together with a certificate. If there is a minimum of 10 students enrolled for the Portuguese language course, it will be held at ISEG. If not, the students will be distributed within the other schools of the Technical University. The total duration of the course is 40 hours (3 times a week, 2 hours each day). In case you are interested in attending the course, please fill in the Attendance of Portuguese Course for Foreigners and send it back to us together with your exchange student application process. By sending us this document you are just demonstrating your interest in attending the Portuguese Language Course. Upon arrival at ISEG, you will receive the detailed timetable and you will be requested to confirm your participation. At that moment, and if you confirm, you will be allocated a place in the course and you will be committed to attend it entirely. If you give up before its end, you will not be refunded with the 50 euros fee paid. 17

19 Assessment The academic year is divided into two semesters. A student may attend courses chosen from 2, 3 or 4 different academic departments (Economics, Management, Mathematics, Social Sciences). Foreign students take the same type of examination as Portuguese students, who are continuously assessed in a number of different ways. These may include formal examinations at the end of each semester, participation and class attendance, group projects and the presentation of case studies or essays. You will also be asked to work with other students to illustrate your ability to work as part of a team and be actively involved, encouraged to ask questions and join in discussions and debate with your teachers. In some courses, foreign students will be allowed to do their reports and written examinations in English or another foreign language but this must be agreed upon by teachers on a case-by-case basis. A final mark is given at the end of each exam period. Grades are given on a scale with a maximum score of 20 and the minimum passing grade is 10. Students who fail in the normal exam, 1 st period of exams, have a second opportunity in a final exam, 2 nd period of exams, (please consult the academic calendar). Examination dates and results can to be found on bulletin boards ate the school and online at our website. On successful completion of studies, students are automatically issued with an official certificate of studies. This document is subsequently delivered to the student's home university one month later. 18

20 ECTS European Credit Transfer System The ECTS - European Credit Transfer System is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme, objectives preferably specified in terms of the learning outcomes and competences to be acquired. The system facilitated the recognition of periods of study abroad and thus enhanced the quality and volume of student mobility in Europe. Recently ECTS is developing into an accumulation system to be implemented at institutional, regional, national and European level. This is one of the key objectives of the Bologna Declaration of June ECTS makes study programmes easy to read and compare for all students, local and foreign. ECTS facilitates mobility and academic recognition helping universities to organize and revise their study programme to make European higher education more attractive for students from other continents. What are ECTS credits? ECTS credits are a numerical value (between 1 and 60) allocated to course units to describe the student workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course unit requires in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of academic study at the institution that is, lectures, practical work, seminars, tutorials, fieldwork, private study - in the library or at home - and examinations or other assessment activities. ECTS is thus based on a full student workload and not limited to contact hours only. ECTS credits are a relative rather than an absolute measure of student workload. They only specify how much of a year s workload a course unit represents at the institution or department allocating the credits. In ECTS, 60 credits represent the workload of an academic year of study and normally 30 credits for a semester and 20 credits for a term. ECTS credits ensure that the programme will be reasonable in terms of workload for the period of study abroad. 19

21 How are ECTS credits transferred? Home and host institutions prepare and exchange transcripts of records for each student participating in ECTS before and after the period of study abroad. Copies of these transcripts are given to the student for his/her personal file. The home institution recognizes the amount of credit received by their students from partner institutions abroad so that the credits for the course unit passed replace the credits which would otherwise have been obtained from the home institution. The Learning Agreement gives the student a guarantee in advance that the credits for the approved programme of study will be transferred. What is the ECTS grading scale? As many different national grading scales co-exist in Europe, in order to facilitate the mobility of students and their grades between institutions a common ECTS grading system has been developed. The grading scale is based on the combined use of keywords with short explanations and alphabetical definitions from A to F. The ECTS grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis. ECTS provides an instrument to create transparency, to build bridges between institutions and to widen the choices available to students. The system makes it easier for institutions to recognize the learning achievements of students through the use of commonly understood measurements credits and grades - and it also provides a means to interpret national systems of higher education. ECTS is based on three core elements: information (on study programmes and student achievement), mutual agreement (between the partner institutions and the student) and the use of ECTS credits (to indicate student workload). 20

22 ECTS provides transparency through the following means: 1. ECTS credits which are a numerical value allocated to course units to describe the student workload required to complete them; 2. The information package which supplies written information to students and staff on institutions, departments/faculties, the organization and structure of studies and course units; 3. The transcript of records which shows students learning achievements in a way which is comprehensive, commonly understood and easily transferable from one institution to another; 4. The learning agreement covering the programme of study to be taken and the ECTS credits to be awarded for their satisfactory completion, committing both home and host institutions, as well as the student. Full academic recognition is a condition sine qua non for student mobility in the framework of the Erasmus and Socrates programmes. Full academic recognition means that the study period abroad (including examinations or other forms of assessment) replaces a comparable period of study at the home university (including examinations or other forms of assessment), though the content of the agreed study programme may differ. The use of ECTS is voluntary and is based on mutual trust and confidence in the academic performance of partner institutions. Each institution selects its own partners. The ECTS Grading Scale The grading system is a key issue in the academic recognition process for students participating in international mobility programmes. Grading scales vary according to host countries and institutions which increases the difficulty and complexity levels of the equivalence process. Therefore, having in mind the different grading systems in Europe, a grading scale has been developed in the framework of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) to make the comparison between different national scales easier and the assessment process more transparent. The ECTS grading scale allows the qualitative assessment of student s performance in the course units (subjects) attended at the host institution. 21

23 At the first level, this grading system divides students into two separate groups: pass and fail; and afterwards, those obtaining passing grades are divided into five subgroups. An ECTS grade is allocated to each subgroup. The ECTS grade aims at providing additional information regarding the student s achievements in a specific subject. It is based on the rank of a student in a given assessment that is how he/she performed relative to other students in the same class (or in a significant group of students). ECTS grade does not intend to replace the local grade but to provide qualitative information about the student s academic performance. Therefore, it consists in a relative grade that can be represented as follows: ECTS Grade % of successful students normally achieving the grade Definition ISEG s Grading General Orientation A 10 B 25 C 30 D 25 E 10 F - Excellent: outstanding performance with only minor errors. Very Good: above average standard but with some errors. Good: generally sound work with a number of notable errors. Satisfactory: fair but with significant shortcomings. Sufficient: performance meets the minimum criteria. Fail: some more work required before credit can be awarded or less 22

24 The ECTS credits have been already introduced in all graduate programmes offered in ISEG. A credit indicates the average amount of time necessary to fulfill the course requirements: attendance of lectures, seminars, workshops, practical exercises, preparation of papers and exams. Sixty credits corresponds the average workload of a full-time student during one academic year. ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. Credits in ECTS can only be obtained after successful completion of the work required and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved. National Grading System Sufficient Good Good with distinction Very Good with distinction 20 Very Good with distinction and honors In the national grading system, the results are represented in a scale from 0 to 20, and the minimum mark required to approval is

46 Useful Information for International Students Accomodation The Erasmus Office (GE) is not responsible for settling students in accommodation but tries to do its best providing all the necessary orientation and information for all incoming students. For this purpose, it works together with the aforementioned group of local students. Accommodation in Halls of Residence is extremely scarce and only 1% of foreign students manage to get a place there. To overcome this problem, renting a room in an apartment, shared with other students looking for an extra flat mate to share bills, is the best solution and a less expensive option. Remember that finding lodgings in Lisbon can be difficult, especially if you are staying for less than a year. While seeking for permanent accommodation the best option for first nights is to stay at a Youth Hostel. Make sure you have a reservation. University Residence The halls of residence have no single rooms; each room is shared by two or three students, and has wash-basin facilities. There are also shared living room, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Though crockery and cutlery is not provided, you can purchase whatever you need on the spot. The neighbouring area has many low-price shops where such items can be bought inexpensively. If such accommodation appeals to you, please state this in your accommodation request so we make arrangements. Private Housing It is also possible to rent a private room (living in with a family) or to rent an apartment. Such rooms cost about 175/250 per month. Flats normally consist of two or three rooms. Do not hesitate to contact the Erasmus Office ([email protected]). They can help you make these arrangements through their list of private rooms in the ISEG vicinity. Students may also find a notice board with a variety of accommodation on offer next to the student union. 45

47 Youth Hostel There is only one youth hostel in Lisbon, near the Picoas underground station in the centre of town. It offers two kinds of rooms: double and dormitory rooms, designed to accommodate up to six people. As this is normally a temporary solution, you are expected to pay for each night s stay (including breakfast). The youth hostel also has a restaurant (self-service) with a take-away facility. There you can have lunch or dinner for 5. The price is 35 (low season) and 42 (high season) for a double room with toilet. If you really need accommodation urgently, contact: Lisbon Youth Hostel Rua Andrade Corvo, Lisboa Phone: Fax: Underground/Subway - Picoas [email protected] Lisbon Youth Hostel at Parque das Nações R. de Moscavide, Lisboa Tel.: Fax: Underground/Subway - Oriente [email protected] For further information please consult the Web site: Health Care Services Public Health Clinic In Portugal most people receive medical treatment through the Public Health Clinic ( Centro de Saúde ). That is run through the National Health System in order to provide general healthcare for the general public. In case of sudden illness you should go to the permanent attendance service (SAP). 46

48 Hospital The district of Lisbon has many hospitals that are also run through the National Health System. The emergency section of the hospital is open 24 hours a day. Only in cases of risk to life or real emergency should you go to the emergencies section ( urgencies ). Otherwise you should go to the SAP at the nearest public health clinic. In the event of an emergency, dial 112 (free call) and ask for the ambulance or police service. Student Social Services In order to have access to health care, E.U. citizens, who do not reside in Portugal, must be accompanied by either their passport, identity card or by the European Health Insurance Card. As an ISEG student you are entitled to medical care at very low prices through our Social Services: Social Services' Medical Care Av. Fontes Pereira de Melo, 25-1.º Dto.

49 Pharmacies Most pharmacies in Lisbon are open during the week from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm and from 3.00 pm to 7.00 pm. On Saturday the opening hours are from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm. They are closed on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday. Special 24-hour services are made available by pharmacies on a rotation basis. You can check their addresses at the door of any pharmacy (open or closed) or ask through the telephone number 118. Vaccination For the purposes of entering, residing and studying in Portuguese territory, there are no statutory requirements with respect to vaccination. Nevertheless, the Portuguese Ministry of Health highly recommends that all citizens be vaccinated against tetanus, with a maximum lapse of ten years between doses. Payments and healthcare insurance Healthcare must always be paid for, either directly by the patient or by means of a health insurance policy. It is the student s responsibility to ensure that he/she has an adequate health insurance policy. Social Security Systems You should bring your European Health Insurance Card (this card was substituted by document E111) Students will be treated as if they were Portuguese citizens. Many students can benefit from the international agreements in which Portugal participates in order to gain access to the Portuguese Social Security System, and through it to the National Health System. At multilateral level, the Community Regulations on Social Security, no. 1408/71 and no. 574/72, which include the member states of the European Union as well as Island, Lichtenstein, Norway, which are part of the European Economic Area, as well as Switzerland. 48

50 For further information about these conventions and agreements, students should contact the social security services in their home country before traveling to Portugal. If you are coming for a six months study period or more, then you are entitled to use this service, as if you were a permanent resident. However, for entitlement Entry Procedures/VISA To enter Portuguese territory, all students must be bearers of a travel document i.e. a valid passport. European Union and EEA (European Economic Area) citizens may present their national ID card. They have the right to move to another Member State to live, study and work, but should apply for a residence permit within 90 days of entry into Portugal to the Department of Immigration and Border Control. Evidence will have to be given of enrolment in a recognized school or college, as well as proof of health insurance coverage and sufficient financial resources. Nationals of non-eu or non-eea countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) must apply for a Study Visa, which is a special permit designed for foreign students coming to Portugal unless the country has a special agreement with Portugal to provide exemption from visas. The study visa can be obtained from the Portuguese diplomatic representative of your country (i.e. the Portuguese Embassy or Consulate). This visa may be granted on a multiple entry basis and is valid for a maximum period of one year. Family members of visa holders may accompany the student for the period of stay by requesting, before entry into Portugal, a temporary visa at the Embassy or consulate of the country where they reside. 49

52 Around Lisbon Portugal and the City of Lisbon Portugal lies on the western side of the Iberian Peninsula, with 832 km of Atlantic coast and 1,215 km of land border with Spain. It also includes Madeira and the Azores, two groups of islands in the Atlantic. It is one of the twenty-seven European Union Member States. Portuguese Flag With a surface area of 92,100 sq km within the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal is a rectangle of some 560 km in length and 220 km in breadth. The majority of Portugal s population lives along the 837 km of its west coast, facing the Atlantic Ocean. However, its 10 million inhabitants are largely concentrated in the capital, Lisbon (two million people including outskirts), and other coastal cities on the Atlantic, particularly Oporto. 51

53 Lisbon, capital city, is located on the right side of the Tagus river in the center of Portugal. Portugal is located in south-western Europe, bordered by Spain on the north and east and by the Atlantic Ocean on the south and west. It is the westernmost city in continental Europe and lies more or less in the centre of the country, approximately 300 km from the Algarve in the south and 400 km from the northern border with Spain. It has an area of 84 sq. km. and a population of inhabitants. The area known as Greater Lisbon has a population of 2,1 million in an area of 2750 sq. km. The capital city of Portugal is built on seven hills overlooking the Tagus River, the very soul of the city. The city grew from the hill of the castle. Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians founded colonies here. Romans consolidated their port and fishing vocation; the polis developed in the imperial itinerary. With the barbarian occupations by the Alamos, the Germanic tribes and the Visigoths the towns declined. The flourishing came with the Moorish occupation from year 719 to year Conquered by King Afonso Henriques in the year 1147, the city prospered with the permanence of the court and its urban character was reinforced as capital of the realm (year of 1256). Lisboa became a European mercantile centre through the discoveries carried out by the Portuguese in the 16th century. In 1755, it was devastated by an earthquake, in which it is believed that about lives were lost and more than buildings were destroyed. The city was rebuilt for that day and age under the direction of the Marquis of Pombal. The downtown part of Lisboa still retains its 18th century character. Over the centuries, Lisboa went through wide changes, although many traces of the city s rich and troubled past have been retained. In 1994, Lisboa received the title of European Capital of Culture, and the city was promoted throughout the entire year in a wide variety of events. Sprawling along the right bank of the enormous Tagus estuary, Lisbon - the muse that inspired the great maritime discoveries - stands looking proudly at the Atlantic Ocean. The memories of this golden age - when Lisbon became the capital city of the realm and one of the most famous and cosmopolitan centers of 16th century Europe, with which even the wealth of Venice was unable to compete - are etched in stone, in Torre de Belém, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos and Padrão dos Descobrimentos, which have perpetuated the memory of that period and been classified as world heritage sites. 52

54 To the east, the city prefers to show visitors its bright new face, so clearly expressed in the modern architecture of the site that housed Expo '98, the last world exhibition of the 20th century, subordinated the theme of the Oceans because of Portugal s contribution to the discoveries and sea voyages, now known as Parque das Nações. Lisboa has by no means come to a standstill. Restless as always it has continued its development and in 2004 hosted the European Football Championship. In the beginning of this Century, Lisboa still is a city of many contrasts, a modern and ancient city that fascinates those who visit her. Either in or near Lisbon you will find whatever you are looking for: beaches, countryside, mountains and areas of historical interest. The Government Portugal has been a Republic since the overthrow of the monarchy in Its status as a democratic state began with the so-called Revolution of the Carnations on April 25th, 1974, which brought down the authoritarian, corporative republic established by António de Oliveira Salazar in According to the post revolutionary constitution of 1976, Portugal's chief of state is the President of the Republic, who is directly elected for a four-year term. The President represents the nation, serves as commander in chief of the Armed Forces, appoints the Prime Minister, sends messages to parliament and convenes or dissolves it as necessary, etc.. The elections to the Parliament in Lisbon happen every four years, just like the elections for the President of the Republic, regional governments and local districts. The elections are noisy and fun, and the candidates of each political party tour the country, with celebrities attending the rallies, in the attempt to secure more votes. The Parliament in Lisbon is right next to ISEG. 53

55 Tourism, Sightseeing and Attractions Tourism in the Lisbon Region Tradition, romance, culture, entertainment, modernity and emotions are just a small taste of what you can find in the Lisbon region. Just a few kilometers from the city of Lisbon, the horizon opens out into the sea and hills of the Estoril Coast, a traditional summer resort with fine sandy beaches and calm sea, ideal for nautical sports. The long and sunny river front of Oeiras links the Tagus and the Atlantic Ocean, with various interesting spots. Among the shady woods of the hills and the Atlantic, nestles the town of Sintra, where nature and architectural heritage exist in perfect harmony. The cidade das sete colinas (city of the seven hills - nickname for Lisbon) is one of the most picturesque capitals of Europe. It has strong links to the past, reflected in the old buildings and narrow cobblestone streets. Lisbon is a mosaic of neighborhoods. Alfama is the oldest, with traces back to the Moors. Go to the commercial area of Baixa to see one of Europe's oldest examples of planned neighborhoods. Bairro Alto for nightlife with a personal touch. Head out to Belém to see grand architecture from the time of the discoveries. When you need a break from the city the nearby mountain village of Sintra makes for an excellent excursion, with its famous castles. On the other side of Tagus, the Blue Cost extends for 50 thousand hectares of protected nature reserve, with its extraordinarily rich flora and fauna including dolphins along Sado estuary. The Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in Avenida de Berna, (near Praça de Espanha metro station) standing in picturesque gardens, is worth special mention for its excellent permanent art collection, temporary exhibitions and wide range of classical music and jazz concerts attracting international artists. It also boasts an excellent and modestly priced self-service restaurant at lunchtimes serving hot meals and an enormous range of salads. 54

56 In Belém there are several monuments worth seeing: Torre de Belém, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Centro Cultural de Belém.

65 Shopping Downtown - the area frequently called Baixa (downtown) comprises the Rossio, the Augusta street and its transversal streets, the recently renewed Chiado and the Liberdade (Freedom) Avenue. This is one of the oldest commercial areas in Lisbon. You will easily find streets named after the business or job that was done there once. Prata (Silver) Street, Ouro (Gold) Street and Ferreiros (Blacksmiths) Street are some of the examples we can quote. Shopping Centres - shopping centres are almost everywhere in the city. Bigger or smaller, they will do their best to suit your needs. We decided to list the bigger surfaces: Colombo, Vasco da Gama, Amoreiras and El Corte Inglés. These areas include several shops of different branches of business, including restaurants and leisure facilities like movie theatres and mini playground sets. Almost all business establishments in Portugal are open on weekdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm and between 3.00 pm and 7.30 pm, and on Saturdays from 9.30 am to 1.00 pm. There are many shopping centres that are open from am to pm everyday, including weekends. Sports In Lisbon, choose from the wonderful international golf courses, the sandy beaches with a huge assortment of water sports or the many sports associations with well-equipped gyms, swimming pools, etc. In the surrounding areas, you can find 18 golf courses just a few minutes away from the city centre. Set in great landscapes and made for those who love golf and refuse to renounce the quality of life factor, these golf courses are equipped with all the facilities that the most discerning players demand. Surfing, body boarding, sailing, windsurfing and all sorts of water sports can be found in beaches like Guincho (that has some of the best conditions for surf and windsurf), Cascais and Costa de Caparica. This last one boasts a 15 kilometer stretch of golden, sandy shoreline. 64

66 Also not to be missed are the surrounding areas of Setúbal and Sesimbra. Besides having good conditions for water sports, both these regions offer spectacular scenery and are definitely worth a visit. One of the best ways to explore the natural beauty of Lisbon's surrounding countryside is on horseback. The magnificent landscape of the Costa do Estoril, particularly the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, is best appreciated on horseback, providing a truly memorable day out for visitor riders. Night Life If you want to go out at night, Lisbon has four typical, lively areas worth visiting: Bairro Alto, Avenida 24 de Julho, Docas and Parque das Nações (Expo). Bairro Alto is an old, traditional quarter located in the centre of the city. Here you can find different, completely informal kinds of bars. There are also several discos, but Bairro Alto is principally renowned for its bars. In some of them you can even listen to fado music (typical Lisbon songs). Along Avenida 24 de Julho there are many bars and discos to choose from. The Docas, along the Alcântara wharf and the Parque das Nações, along the Oriente wharf are also reputed for their night life and famous bars and discos. Other popular haunts for students and young adults are the English and Irish pubs in Cais de Sodre the most popular are The pump House in Rua da Moeda and O Gillins in Rua das Remolares. Parks Lisbon has several parks: Jardim da Estrela (near ISEG), where you can enjoy the sun, the trees, relax and visit the local café. Parque Eduardo VII (above Marquês de Pombal), where you can find the Estufa Fria (an exuberant greenhouse, with exotics plants, trees and fountains). Parque do Campo Grande, where you can roller-skate, swim or hire a rowing boat on the lake, simply to relax, enjoy the sun or appreciate the refreshing shade of the overhanging trees. Parque do Lumiar, Estrada do Lumiar. This park is relatively isolated from the city noises and houses the Museu Nacional do Traje (National Costume Museum) and the Museu Nacional do Teatro. (Theatre Museum) 65

67 Zoo Lisbon's Zoo (Jardim Zoológico metro station) is located to the Northwest of the city centre. The Zoo has a large variety of large and small animals, housed in a peaceful, shaded spacious setting. It has an excellent collection of exotic birds and reptiles, a boating lake, restaurant and cafeteria facilities, as well as picnicking areas. 66

68 Transport There is a wide inexpensive network in all towns and cities. In Lisbon, the city of the seven hills, you can choose between bus, subway, elevators, electric trams or railway, within the city or to the suburbs. Like any other big city, Lisbon offers an extensive public transport network (underground, coaches, buses, trams, elevators, trains, boats and taxis).do not miss the chance to go by tram or cable car they are a great way to visit the city in a leisurely fashion. Students can get around the city by bus or tram, both of which serve the entire city, for as little as 1,30 per journey. Bus/tram tickets can be purchased, from the driver, or at any ticket vendor. During the rush hours the underground, or Metro, as it is called, is recommended as a faster mode of transport. A single ticket costs only 0,75. Subway tickets must be purchased at the subway stops. There are passes for bus/tram/subway trips valid for 30 days, as well as combined tourist cards that include museums and unlimited travel on the city's tramway, bus, elevator and subway transportation (1, 2 or 3 days). The public bus and tram company CARRIS covers almost all of the Lisbon. Generally, buses and trams run from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The subway is operated by a public company - Metropolitano de Lisboa - and runs from 6 a.m to 1 a.m. The latter is definitely the fastest way to travel around in Lisbon. If you are in a real hurry, then take a taxi, which is also reasonably priced in Portugal. They are usually beige or less commonly black and green, with a sign on the roof. If this has a number (from 1 to 6) lit up this means the taxi is occupied. The green light on means the taxi is free. In the city taximeters are used; outside the city, the service is per kilometre, including the return trip to the pick-up point. Between 10 pm and 6 am there is an extra tariff of 20%. It's advisable to ask for a receipt. Baggage transported in the boot has a fixed rate. If you're travelling outside Lisbon, then you have the choice of the train or coach service, which enables you to reach any point in the country in a fairly efficient and inexpensive way. 67
