Getting to Web Summit
The venue is in Parque das Nações, beside Oriente station. From the airport, the Red Metro line takes you directly to Oriente; from central Lisbon, connect to that line at Alameda (Green) or São Sebastião (Blue). Leave time to walk from the station to your entrance at MEO Arena or FIL.
- • Take the Red Line (Linha Vermelha) from Aeroporto to Oriente
- • Get off at Oriente and follow the signs towards MEO Arena and FIL
- • From city centre: Green or Blue Line, transfer at Alameda or São Sebastião
A taxi or Uber can take you to the venue. Confirm the pickup point and current fare when booking.
View RouteIf you arrive from another Portuguese city by CP train, check whether your service stops at Lisboa Oriente. From the platforms, follow the signs through the station towards the venue.
Check CP trainsLisbon Metro normally runs from 06:30 to 01:00. Check whether special Web Summit hours or shuttles are announced for 2026; do not assume a past edition’s service will run again. After late city events, a licensed taxi or ride-hailing app may be simpler.
Going to the city centre first?
From the airport, take the Red line to Alameda and change to the Green line for Baixa-Chiado or Cais do Sodré. For Rossio and Restauradores, change at São Sebastião to the Blue line. Oriente is a separate stop on the Red line for the conference. If you arrive late or with substantial luggage, compare a licensed taxi, an app ride and the official airport taxi voucher before choosing.
Public Transport Passes
In 2026, the Metro/Carris single ticket is €1.90, Metro Zapping is €1.72, a contactless bank-card Metro trip is €1.92, and the 24-hour Metro/Carris ticket is €7.25. The reusable navegante occasional card costs €0.50. Check the current fare and where your ticket is valid before buying.
A dedicated Web Summit pass was sold in 2025, but those dates and prices do not apply to 2026. Check the Metro's current fare page and any new event-pass announcement before relying on one. Our airport-to-city and public-transport guides cover the rest of your stay.

Where to Store Your Luggage
If you are arriving with a suitcase, arrange storage before going to the venue. Check Web Summit's 2026 venue rules for current bag limits and security procedures.
The airport and Oriente station have luggage lockers; collection services can also take a bag from your hotel or another agreed address. Check availability, opening hours and prices before relying on any option.
Luggage lockers are outside the Departures area of Terminal 1. Follow the airport signs and check the displayed tariff for the size and storage period you need.
CP lists automatic luggage lockers at Lisboa Oriente. Follow the signs inside the station and check availability, the displayed tariff and the station's opening hours before relying on them.
CP luggage-locker information ↗The LUGGit app collects, stores, and delivers your luggage wherever and whenever you choose. Head straight to Web Summit or explore Lisbon hands-free!
See current offerOther Storage Services
For more flexibility, there are luggage storage services throughout the city, such as LuggageHero and Stasher. They partner with local shops, cafés, and hotels in central areas like Baixa, Chiado, and Rossio.
Compare current prices and opening hours before booking.
Registration and Accreditation
Your ticket is available in the Web Summit app. You must show it to register and collect your accreditation before entering the venue; bring photo ID and follow the entry instructions for your ticket type. The organiser has not yet published reliable 2026 registration locations and opening hours in its public essentials guide, so check it again before your journey.
Download the app, open “My ticket”, confirm that your personal details match your ID and read any registration instructions sent by the organiser. Do not plan your arrival around last year’s airport desk hours.
Official ticket guidanceFollow the signed registration route for your ticket category and allow extra time for security. Airport and Pavilhão de Portugal registration were used in earlier editions, but the 2026 locations and hours need confirmation from Web Summit.
Official registration updatesNight Summit and 2026 Side Events
Night Summit is the organiser’s official after-hours networking programme. Its 2026 page describes Pavilion 5 as a social hub with meetups, speed networking and music. As of 30 September, the published schedule lists Late Night Summit at Time Out Market on 9 November (20:00–00:00) and Cais do Sodré on 10 November (21:00–00:00). Check the live programme for final times, venue details and any additional nights.
Your ticket may include Night Summit access, but check your exact ticket and each gathering’s entry rules. Independent founder dinners and community meetups are separate events; we have not listed unconfirmed 2026 dates as official Web Summit events. For Cais do Sodré or Time Out Market, use the Green Metro line to Cais do Sodré while it is running, or plan a taxi or ride-hailing trip after hours.

Exploring Lisbon Beyond the Summit
If you have a free afternoon, take the Red Line from Oriente and change at Alameda or São Sebastião for the historic centre. Allow time for the transfer and for walking uphill once you arrive. Baixa and Chiado suit a short first visit; Alfama rewards a slower walk.
Baixa & Chiado
Lisbon's elegant and vibrant heart, filled with neoclassical squares, cafés, and shops. Don't miss Praça do Comércio, the Arco da Rua Augusta, and the Elevador de Santa Justa. Visit Convento do Carmo and stop by A Brasileira, the café where poet Fernando Pessoa used to write.
Alfama
The city's oldest and most traditional neighbourhood, a maze of narrow alleys and hidden courtyards. Visit the Castle of São Jorge, Sé Cathedral, and the viewpoints of Santa Luzia and Portas do Sol. Stay for dinner and enjoy a live Fado performance — a quintessential Lisbon experience.
Avenida da Liberdade
Lisbon's answer to Paris's boulevards, lined with designer stores, historic buildings, and shaded gardens. Enjoy rooftop drinks at Seen Lisboa or dinner at JNcQUOI or Taberna Anti Dantas.
Weather in November
Early-to-mid November in Lisbon typically brings mild autumn weather with a real chance of rain on any given day. Based on long-term averages, daytime temperatures usually sit around 16-19°C, while evenings can drop to 10-13°C, especially if there's wind near the river. These are historical averages, not a forecast for the specific event dates — check an actual forecast closer to November 2026.
What to Pack
- • Comfortable layers for changing temperatures
- • Waterproof jacket or umbrella
- • Closed shoes for walking (cobbled streets can get slippery)
