Conference Venue and Accommodation
Guimarães is located in northwestern Portugal, approximately 350km north of the capital, Lisbon, and about 50km from the second largest city, Oporto. Guimarães benefits from the proximity to the Francisco Sá Carneiro International Airport, located in Oporto and used by the most important airlines, including low cost airlines, for domestic, international and transcontinental flights. From Francisco Sá Carneiro International Airport you can easily reach Guimarães either by private car, train or bus.
Guimarães is a city with a glorious historical past, whose history is linked to the origins of Portuguese language and the founding of Portugal’s national identity in the 12th century. The Historical Quarter of Guimarães constitutes a unique vestige of a particular type of city design. It is characterized by the morphology of its medieval urban fabric, which comprises a succession of squares of great formal value and environmental quality, and a particular type of construction that is diversified, but with great formal unity overall, which was fully erected using traditional building techniques called rodízio (castered) partition wall and fasquio (lathed) partition wall.
This unique site, which UNESCO classified on 13 December 2001, is the city’s most reproductive and lasting investment.
