Tuesday, October 20 - Safe Travels to Lisbon!

We wish you safe travels as you journey to Lisbon! Here are a few things to know for your arrival to Portugal:

• In addition to your passport book, we recommend bringing a copy of your passport.
• As you depart for Lisbon, please remember that the European Union’s Entry/Exit System (EES) may require passport scanning, a facial photo and fingerprint collection upon arrival. Please allow extra time at immigration and follow all airport signage and instructions.
• After passport control, continue through the airport to the baggage claim area. The belt number where your luggage will appear is displayed on screens inside the baggage claim area. Airport staff might pull bags from the belt, so be sure to check both on and off the belt for your luggage.
• Trolleys are available for your luggage. Once you have collected all your luggage, you can proceed to the customs area.
• When you exit the customs area, look for ground transportation representatives holding Coburn Supply signs. They will direct you to awaiting vehicles.
• Transfer time to the hotel is approximately 20 minutes.
• The official hotel check-in time is 3 pm, but the hotel will make every effort to have rooms available earlier.
• Upon arrival at the Hotel Tivoli Avenida Liberdade, you will be greeted by your Coburn’s hosts at check-in. A credit card is required for incidentals at check-in. Please have your passport handy for ID verification.
• The hotel will store your luggage until your room is available so you can explore. Please take advantage of the Welcome Walking Tour of Lisbon; details can be found in your itinerary.
• The Welcome Reception and Dinner, including a Vendor Meet & Greet, will take place Thursday, October 22 from 5 – 8 pm at the hotel’s SEEN Sky Bar. The evening includes delicious cocktails and food, wonderful entertainment, and great Coburn Supply camaraderie! Attire is Smart Casual.

Lisbon Fact of the Day: Those beautiful, patterned tiles you see throughout Lisbon are called azulejos. They have decorated Portuguese buildings for centuries, turning everything from churches and palaces to everyday facades into works of art. Keep an eye out as you explore because no two streets seem quite the same!
