CONFERENCE VENUE PORTUGUESE MUST DO’S In 2020, the International Conference on River Connectivity returns to Europe to its most Southwestern country, Portugal. Fish Passage 2020 will be held in the captivating city of Lisbon, a historic capital with an amalgam of 800 years of cultural influences that mingle with modern trends and lifestyle creating intricate and spectacular contrasts. The light of Lisbon spreads across seven hills, always opening a window towards the majestic Tagus River.

Lisbon invites you!

Lisbon is a port of call and a gateway to new adventures, a meeting point for different people and cultures. Likely founded by Phoenicians, this city was built during a millennium of colourful history waiting to be discovered by visitors. Lisbon witnessed Muslim domination, a Christian conquest, a golden age of discoveries, destruction by an earthquake in 1755 and followed by an enlightened reconstruction process and ongoing renewal. Lisbon is a patchwork of distinct and colourful quarters that beckon to be visited and experienced.

Accept the challenge anddiscover Lisbon!

Fish Passage 2020 will be held at the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC), which is located near the center of Lisbon, within walking distance to the conference hotels, a diversity of shops, restaurants, and cafes. Finding the downtown charm is just as easy as taking the metro (Green line).

LODGING Whether you prefer to stay downtown or at a walking distance to the conference venue, Lisbon offers plenty of accommodation options.

Special delegate prices were already negotiated for Mid- and High-Range Hotels ensuring the best comfort during your stay.
