By bus/train/taxi

By car

For those who drive to the hotel by car, here are some driving instructions.

When reaching the city of Braga, start looking for signs saying "Bom Jesus". Bom Jesus is a landmark in the hills of Braga of which you see a picture at the top of this page. You should follow the signs to Bom Jesus, leading you up hill through some hairpins, and you will start seeing signs pointing you to "Sameiro". Follow these signs to Sameiro until a roundabout where you keep right, in the direction of "Falperra", indicated by signs. Keep following this road until the Hotel da Falperra shows up on your left side, right before a hairpin corner to the right.

If all else fails

Contact the hotel at (+351) 253 240 700, or the organizers on their mobile numbers (see email).
