On the map above you can see the yellow line's "Pólo Universitário" and "IPO" stations, they are more a less the same distance from CISTER Building's entrance. Get out in "IPO" station and turn right when you leave the train. Walk straight through, cross the street, cross to the right side of subway lines, and keep moving on the pathway alongway the line; you can't miss the big white building with red doors and shutters in front of you. From "Pólo Universitário" station, move to the exit in the same direction of the train going to Hospital de São João, keep straight on, and take the main road that turns slighty to the left. The white building with red doors is on the left at the end of that road.

The trip takes less than 30 minutes including waiting time. If travelling by train - São Bento Station, the yellow line ("Line D") metro station is just across the street.

If travelling by plane, the cheapeast alternative is to use the metro network (you will need a Z4 ticket, aprox, 2.00 EUR) to get to "Trindade" subway station and follow the instructions on "metro" above, the trip should take about 35 minutes plus up to 25 minutes waiting time in the stations. Due to the ticketing zone system if you are travelling from ISEP to the Airport you need a Z3 ticket, but if you start at the city center you will need a Z4 ticket. Another alternative is to pick a Taxi and ask for "ISEP / Rua António Bernardino de Almeida" (this will leave you in the main ISEP building, cross the street from CISTER Building), it is the fastest alternative (about 20 minutes) and should cost around 15 to 20 EUR. If renting a car see "driving" instructions details above.
