A GUIDE TO GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR STAY

Welcome to the city of discoverers
Vasco da Gama began his ingenious discovery tours in the city on the western
edge of Europe and greatly enhanced people’s conception of the world. He
strongly questioned some approaches to knowledge and paved the way for trade
with India. Following his achievements, Lisbon enjoyed a time of great prosperity
that came to a sudden end following the disastrous earthquake in 1755. What we
experience as an impressive city image today, especially the Baixa, was created in
the 18th century. Only the Torre de Belém still reminds us of the time of great
sailors and their untiring spirit of discovery.
Of course, the time of individual explorations is long past, but the urge for new
knowledge has remained unchanged. Today, it is a great number of people who
work on the front lines with curiosity, diligence and persistence to bring about
progress. They have come to Lisbon as well, to make new discoveries by sharing
scientific and practical approaches. Not only in lectures, workshops and discussions
but also in dialogues with industry, at the Oertli booth for example. Discover the
total range of cataract and posterior segment surgical platforms, the latest
functions of the OS4 device, an amazingly simple MIGS method and the new
FEELceps line, or simply discover the friendliness and competence of our employees
at booth no P263. We warmly welcome you!

WELCOME TO
SEEINGLISBONOphthalmology Times Europe’s exclusive
guide to the host city for the XXXV Congress
of the European Society of Cataract and
Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS), which will take
place on 7–11 October 2017 in the FIL – Feira
Internacional de Lisboa, Portugal.
This guide is packed full of information to help
you make the most of your visit – what to see and
do, where to eat and drink and how to get around.
Lisbon is a beautiful coastal capital that offers art,
charm, learning, fun nightlife, great dining (don’t miss
the seafood!) and enough hills to guarantee you will
always be able to find a high perch from which to
take in all the lovely views. Bring comfortable shoes
to help you navigate and maybe your swimsuit if you
can make time to hit one of the beaches! History is
never far from reach in this city, which has ancient
roots, and plenty of museums, churches and other
sights stand ready to tell you their stories.
The city also offers its share of romance. In
fact, the Lonely Planet travel guide compares
Lisbon to ‘the perfect Valentine’s
date – bright, charismatic, naturally
good-looking, fun-loving and ever the
dreamer. Romance literally embraces
you on every street corner here, be it
the way the cobbles shimmer like silver
after the rain, the plaintive wail of fado
song drifting through open shutters in
the alley-woven Alfama district, or the
pure Atlantic light cascading across the facades
of houses in a fresco painter’s palette of colours.’
Many Portuguese citizens speak English
fluently, especially in hotels, restaurants and
popular tourist areas, so you should easily be able
to find a friendly person to answer your questions.
Getting around in a foreign city can be
confusing, so to help you navigate, refer to the map
of the metro system (page 28) – the cheapest and
quickest method to get from A to B and back again.
We hope you find this guide useful and that
you enjoy your stay in Lisbon.

SEEANDDO
Attending ESCRS this year means a visit to beautiful Lisbon, Portugal’s coastal capital city. You’ll find no shortage of activities to keep you busy and enchanted while you’re there. Here are some of the highlights this lovely hilly city has to offer.
Praça do Comercio (Terreiro do Paço)1100-016 LisboaOne of the largest squares in Europe, this iconic
Lisbon spot offers visitors many attractions and
a special history as the place where the paço,
palace, stood before being destroyed by an
earthquake in 1755. It provides access to many
attractions, including Pátio da Galé, Cais das
Colunas and the Lisbon Story Centre. Climb up the
Arco da Rua Augusta to marvel at the symmetry of
the streets or sit at the feet of King José I and his
horse Gentil. This square is a great starting point
for discovering Lisbon.
Oceanário de LisboaEsplanada Dom Carlos I1990-005 Lisboawww.oceanario.pt/enA fabulous place to visit – with or without
children! The Oceanário de Lisboa opened in
1998 as part of the World Fair and today includes
more than 8,000 marine creatures. Don’t miss
the rays, coral reefs, sea otters or sharks! The
massive central aquarium, which represents
the global ocean, is surrounded by four marine
habitats that combined create the illusion that
they are one enormous aquarium. You can take
in the beauty from two levels—the surface or
underwater—as you also learn how you can help
protect the world’s oceans.
Museu Nacional dos CochesAvenida da Índia 136 |1300-300 Lisboahttp://museudoscoches.gov.pt/en/homepage/For something a little off the beaten path, consider
this little gem of a museum, created to preserve
the collection of elaborate vehicles belonging to
the Royal House. It houses a unique collection
of vehicles from the 17th to the 19th centuries,
including coaches, berlins, sedan chairs and
carriages. This museum is spread across two
buildings ‒ make sure you visit both!
Museu de São Vicente de Fora
Largo de São Vicente1100-572 LisboaThis church was built from 1582 to 1627 on the
site of a 12th-century convent outside the walls of
Lisbon. The Great Earthquake in 1755 destroyed
the cupola (and large parts of Lisbon: the quake’s
impact is still evident today in some areas). Today,
the museum houses a great collection of paintings,
sculptures, gold and clothing. It has many Baroque
azulejo tiles as well as displays showing how this

art form developed. Amélia, the last queen of
Portugal, who died in 1951, is entombed here, as
are her husband, Carlos I, and her son, Prince Luís
Felipe, who were killed by an assassin in 1908.
Museu Calouste Gulbenkian
Avenida de Berna 45a
1067-001 Lisboa
https://gulbenkian.pt/museu/en/
This museum is really two museums, the Founder’s
Collection and the Contemporary Collection, which
share the lovely garden grounds. See the evolution
of Portuguese art in this enormous collection of
more than 6,000 pieces put together by Calouste
Gulbenkian over the course of his life. Items come
from all over the world and date from antiquity until
the early 20th century (including examples from
ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, Babylonia, Armenia,
Persia, Europe and Japan, as well as Islamic
art). Paintings include works by Bouts, Van der
Weyden, Lochner, Cima de Conegliano, Carpaccio,
Rubens, Van Dyck, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Guardi,
Gainsborough, Romney, Lawrence, Fragonard,
Corot, Renoir, Nattier, Boucher, Manet, Degas and
Monet. Located a little to the north of the city
centre, visitors say that finding the entrance can be
a bit tricky but is well worth the effort!
Pavilhão do Conhecimento
Largo José Mariano Gago
1990-223 Lisboa
www.pavconhecimento.pt/home/?lang=2
The Pavilion of Knowledge – Ciência Viva is an
interactive science and technology museum. The
building was originally part of the 1998 Lisbon
World Fair as one of its most iconic pavilions, the
Pavilion of the Knowledge of the Seas. During the
event, visitors were invited to ‘take a journey’
across the seas from a historical, technical and
human perspective. The main exhibition hall
was designed to accommodate a ship from São
Jacinto Shipyards. In 1999, the building reopened
as a science centre and now serves to promote
scientific and technological culture in Portugal.

features four large steam engines. One has been
reconditioned as a working demonstration model.
The museum also features portions of Lisbon’s
1746 aqueduct. Visitors say they appreciate

The Pena Palace, in the Sintra Mountains, is a mix
of Manueline and Moorish architecture created
by King Ferdinand II. The palace was built so that
it could be seen from any point in the large park,
which contains more than 500 species of trees
from around the world. This national monument
is one of the world’s best expressions of
19th-century Romanticism. The palace is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Wonders

the entrances to the Douro, Tejo and Sado rivers. It
was one of the most important strongholds along the
Arrábida coast and served as a military installation
until 1992. Today, the military layout inside the fort is
well preserved, particularly the governor’s residence,
the garrison outbuildings, the powder store and
cisterns, the chapel and the dungeons. There is a
museum, permanent and temporary expositions,
and a restaurant with a terrace in a prime location.
Cultural activities also take place throughout the year.
Museu do Oriente

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos
Praça do Império
1400-206 Lisboa

King Manuel I had the idea to erect a large
monastery close to the site where Henry the
Navigator had built a church dedicated to Santa
Maria de Belém in the 15th century, just outside
Lisbon on the banks of the Tagus. The monastery
was later given to the Order of St Jerome. It
describes itself as a cultural reference point that
has attracted artists, chroniclers and travellers
for five centuries. It is the burial place for king,
poets and others and is admired as a remarkable
piece of architecture as well as an integral part of
Portuguese culture and identity. It was named a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

War I. This museum also features works by major
Portuguese artists of the late 19th and early 20th

something beautiful to look at, at least.

1100-129 Lisboa
http://castelodesaojorge.pt/en/
Built in the mid-11th century, this fortification
has 11 towers that display various architectural
features characteristic of military fortifications
from the Moorish period. The steps up the sides of
the curtain walls provide access to the ramparts
and towers, allowing visitors to explore the entire
perimeter and take in wonderful views of Lisbon.
Wear comfortable shoes, as it’s a bit of a climb, and
perhaps avoid mornings because ticket lines can
get long. Check out the small museum of Lisbon
history on the site if you have time.

Lisboa Story Centre
Terreiro do Paço, 79–81
1100-148 Lisboa
www.lisboastorycentre.pt/en
This interactive facility is an innovative space
dedicated to the historic events that shaped
Lisbon. It uses state-of-the-art technology that
combines elaborate sets, multimedia and sensory
experiences to take you on a journey through time.
Highlights include soaking up the atmosphere of a
16th-century warehouse and discovering products
from the New World transported in caravels, as
well as witnessing the tragic events around the
Great Earthquake of 1755.
Igreja de São Domingos
Largo de São Domingos
1150-320 Lisboa
Built in the 13th century by King Sancho II, this
beautiful church has undergone heavy renovations
over the centuries, due to earthquakes and fires.
At one time, national and royal ceremonies such as
funerals and weddings were held here. However,
the history is not all pleasant: condemned prisoners
used to be brought here for public execution.
Renovations are ongoing on this historic church in
downtown Lisbon where history is on full display!
Museu de Lisboa – Santo António
Largo de Santo António da Sé, 24
1100-499 Lisboa
www.museudelisboa.pt/
This church is devoted to the most popular saint
in Lisbon. It is a small but elegant Baroque church
erected on the site of an existing chapel, built by
King João II in the mid-15th century because it was
believed to be the place of birth of Lisbon’s popular
patron saint. The church survived the Great
Earthquake that destroyed almost everything else.
Visit the church and the nearby museum.
National Pantheon
Campo de Santa Clara
1100-471 Lisboa
www.patrimoniocultural.gov.pt/en/museus-
e-monumentos/dgpc/m/panteao-nacional/
The National Pantheon is a grand Baroque building
that houses the tombs of some very distinguished
figures. Built in the 16th century as the church of
Santa Engrácia by Princess Dona Maria, daughter
of King Manuel I, the building was later totally
rebuilt – but it took 350 years. Come and learn why!
The delays are clearly seen in the varying styles
throughout the structure. Even though it was never
used as a place of worship, it features a majestic
nave with a polychrome marble decoration typical
of Portuguese Baroque architecture. While you are
there, take an elevator ride to the top of the dome to
enjoy a fabulous 360° view of the city below! A flea
market is held nearby on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Museu do Aljube – Resistance and Freedom
Rua de Augusto Rosa, 42
1100-059 Lisboa
www.museudoaljube.pt/
This fairly new addition to the Lisbon museum
scene documents the struggle against the
dictatorship that governed Portugal from 1926 to
1974. It is housed in the Aljube building, which was
a political prison used by the secret police from
1928 to 1965. This spot is a must-see for anyone
interested in learning about the fight against
fascism and Portugal’s transition into democracy.
The view from the rooftop is a gorgeous bonus.

Beaches of Costa da Caparica
Just a few minutes from Lisbon is the Costa da
Caparica with its 15 kilometres of beaches. You
can get there by car, or catch a bus from Praça de
Espanha or Campo Grande, then hop on the mini-
train that stops at all the beaches to see which
appeals – the beaches range from calm to chaotic.
Most of them have good food and drink options,
which is always a bonus!
Beaches of Sintra
These beaches are enchanting. In Praia da Adraga,
Praia Grande and Praia das Maçãs you’ll find
resolutely Atlantic beaches with lots of sand and
excellent waves. The pure air, the beauty of the
hills and the train that descends from the centre
of Sintra to the beaches are reasons enough to get
to know them. Just minutes from Cape Roca is the
famed Ursa beach. Have fun!
Beaches of Cascais
The beaches between Lisbon and Cascais are
closer than you think. Take the train or a car:
the road follows the coast and has great views
of Lisbon and the mouth of the Tagus. Beach-
wise, Santo Amaro, Oeiras and Carcavelos are
the biggest and most family-orientated. Linked
to Cascais by the seafront walk, you’ll find other
smaller but still lovely beaches.

are just a few.

NAVIGATINGPORTUGAL
A wide range of public transport and sightseeing transport options serve Lisbon. There
are various ticket types that will get you where you want to go in the city easily and
conveniently. Refer to the Lisbon metro map on page 28.
A few helpful facts
CURRENCY:
The euro, which is divided into 100 cents. Coins
come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents,
as well as 1 and 2 euros. Each EU nation mints its
own coins, all of which have a common design on
one side, with a unique national one on the reverse.
All of the coins can be used in any EU country.
GOVERNMENT:
The monarchy was abolished in 1910, with the
formation of a republic. This became a military
dictatorship in 1926, which lasted for 46 years. This
is not remembered as a prosperous or positive
time in the nation’s history. In 1974, Portugal
became a parliamentary republic, and in 1986 it
joined the EU.
POPULATION:
10 million
CAPITAL:
Lisbon (population 545,000 in the city, with about
3 million in the larger metropolitan area). It is
continental Europe’s westernmost capital.
OTHER MAJOR CITIES (POPULATION):
Sintra (377,249)
Vila Nova de Gaia (302,092)
Porto (237,559)
Loures (205,577)
Cascais (205,117)
IMPORTANT RELIGIOUS DESTINATION:
The central Portuguese town of Fátima is known
for being the location where three shepherd
children reportedly experienced visions of the
Virgin Mary in 1917. Thousands of pilgrims visit the
Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima every year.
GETTING A DEAL:
Consider purchasing the ‘Lisboa Card’, which
gives you free transportation on the Lisbon Metro
subway and buses, trams and the lifts of CARRIS
lines. Also, you get free admission to 28 museums,
monuments and places of interest, and discounts

on many services. Learn more at www.visitlisboa.
com/plan/tickets-offers/lisbon-card.
LANGUAGE:
Portuguese, but English is widely spoken,
especially in areas that are popular with tourists.
TIME ZONE:
Portugal is in the Western European Time Zone,
the same as the United Kingdom and Ireland. From
March to October, however, clocks are put ahead
one hour in most of the country.
EMERGENCY:
Dial 112.
GEOGRAPHY:
Portugal shares the Iberian peninsula, at the
southwestern tip of Europe, with Spain.
RELIGION:
84 percent of the country identifies as Roman
Catholic, although many people are not observant.
CLIMATE:
The average high temperature for October in
Lisbon is about 18°C, and the low is around 15°C.
SMOKING:
Smoking is not allowed in public enclosed places
such as taxis, shops or hotels. Some larger
restaurants still have smoking sections, however,
so be sure to ask for a non-smoking seat if that is
what you would prefer.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION:
Buses and trains are readily available.
ELECTRICITY:
The electric current in Portugal is 230/400 volts at
a frequency of 50 hertz, and sockets comply with
European standards.
DRIVING:
Vehicles drive on the right in Portugal.
Seatbelt use is required.
TELEPHONES:
Public telephone booths accept coins and special
cards that are sold in some shops and newsstands/
kiosks and post offices. Mobile phones are very
common as well. All telephone numbers in Portugal
are composed of nine digits. To call Portugal from
another country, use country code 351.
TIPPING:
Tipping in restaurants is optional. Waiters are paid
a fair wage and a tip is seen as a way of showing
extra appreciation, not a way to make sure the
server is paid enough. It is common to ‘round
up’ the bill to the next euro, even in expensive
restaurants. Taxi drivers are not commonly tipped
much, if at all, nor are housekeepers in hotels.
