In Lisbon, the EMCDDA is also known under its Portuguese name: Observatório Europeu da Droga e da Toxicodependência (OEDT). This information might be useful when getting around.

From the airport

The EMCDDA's offices can quickly and easily be reached from Lisbon Airport by public transport (metro, shuttle bus) or taxi. Information is available on this dedicated transportation page of the website of Lisbon airport. Options include:

• Metro (cheapest): the airport's metro terminal is located just outside the main building. Tickets can be purchased inside the metro station and cost the same as a normal metro ticket. The total journey time should be no more than 40 minutes. You will need to change lines once (at Alameda) where you should follow the indications for the Green (Verde) line, and take the direction Cais do Sodré. You should descend at Cais do Sodré (terminus). The EMCDDA's offices are a two-minute walk from the metro station. Find more details on the website of Lisbon Metro.
• Aerobus shuttle service: Aerobus is an express bus shuttle service from the airport to the city centre. Tickets can be purchased on the bus. The bus makes a small number of stops along the way but its final stop is at Cais do Sodré and this is also where you should get off. The EMCDDA's offices are located opposite the bus stop. Once onboard, the bus journey is between 20 and 30 minutes depending on traffic, etc.
• Taxis: there is a well-served taxi rank just outside the airport. In normal driving conditions, the trip should take between 20 and 30 minutes and the cost should be between EUR 10 and 15. All fares including extras are shown on the taxi meter.

The EMCDDA's office is located right next to the metro, train, bus and boat station Cais do Sodré (green line).
