Access

If possible, do not drive to Teatro Municipal de Portimão, as parking inside the parking is rather difficult. Try to plan your route to TEDxEdges Algarve by:

  1. taking a taxi to the event venue
  2. walking from Portimão town center (at 5 min walking distance from Largo do Dique, near the riverfront)  
  3. driving, if you must (check before hand any available nearby parks)  

Please inform us if you have any accessibility issue, or if you are driving to the venue, so we can better accommodate you and give you a parking space.
