Location
Pousada de Mong-Há Educational Hotel
This is one of the two training units in IFT. From the blurb:
History and the surrounding natural gardens and woods have created the ideal living and meeting environment in the hillside of the 19th Century Portuguese Fortress. Renowned for the splendid views, colorful foliage and parks, the elegant and historical Pousada de Mong-Há is a place where guests find generous and inviting accommodation offered with dedicated service, friendly staff and genuine warmth... Pousada is a Portuguese word meaning a place of blessed repose. For more information about Pousada, please click here.

Getting to IFT
There will be complimentary shuttle services between the conference hotel and conference venue.
Taxis and buses can be quite difficult to get (on) during busy periods of the day (0800-0930 & 1700-1900).
Beware of the interesting sights that might distract you from where you were going, but do try out different eateries frequented by local residents for an authentic breakfast. We're certain you'd find this an interesting and unique experience.
