Setúbal Polytechnic Campus is located 8 kilometres from the centre
of Setúbal, in the Estefanilha area. It is a very quiet area
surrounded by parkland near the Sado beaches.
The three Colleges located on the Campus (College of Technology,
College of Education and College of Business Administration) were
built from scratch. The facilities are very well designed and
benefit from the very latest technological and scientific equipment.
The College of Health Care (CHC) is temporarily located on the
Campus but will have its own facilities near the District Hospital
in the centre of Setúbal in the short term.

How to Get to Setúbal
The nearest airport to Setúbal is Portela de Sacavém, which is 7
kilometres from Lisbon. There are several ways to get to the
centre of Lisbon from the airport: the aero bus (that leaves
every 20 minutes between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., whose route
ends at Cais-do-Sodré railway station; taxis (which are easy to
find and fast, though quite expensive; and buses (the airport is
served by various bus routes of the CARRIS company: lines
5,8,22, 44, 45 and 91).
There are several ways to get to Setúbal: by bus it takes about
45 minutes and by car/taxi about 30 minutes to cover the 40
kilometres separating the two cities via the A2 motorway. The
best option is the bus. Even though traffic is usually heavy,
especially to get across the "25 April" Bridge that connects the
two banks of the Rio Tejo (River Tagus), at a ticket price of 3
Euros (as a guide) the bus is worth it. The same journey would
cost almost 40 Euros (as a guide) by taxi.
Another option is the Fertagus train. The terminus is in
Fogueteiro where you will need to get a bus to Setúbal, which is
some 25 kilometres from there. That train goes across the "25
April" Bridge and is quite fast: the journey time between the
first station (Roma/Areeiro) and the last (Fogueteiro) takes
about 27 minutes. Opened in 1999, its is not a very practical
means of transport for people living in Setúbal because it is
expensive: the combined price of the train and bus tickets is 5
Euros (as a guide). However, it is considered to be very
effective to avoid rush hour traffic.
Getting around Setúbal
Setúbal is a relatively small city, so the most effective means
of transport is the bus. Various routes serve the whole city and
it is quite easy to get from one place to another.
SP's Campus is located 7 kilometres from Setúbal's main bus
station in the city centre. From Monday to Friday, buses to the
Colleges leave every 15 minutes (buses in the Morgada direction,
Estefanilha stop). The times are exactly the same in the
opposite direction. The journey time is usually 12 minutes.
Tickets can be bought individually from the driver or in
10-ticket modules at the station. The latter option is very
economical and allows you to take the bus as many times as you
like. |
Panoramic view of Setúbal
Setúbal is located to the south of the River Tagus on the Blue
Coast. It is a port city, has over 100,000 inhabitants and is
the fourth district on a national scale in terms of total
resident population figures. It is one of the most important
Districts in the country, not only because of the size of its
population, but also because of its geographic location. It is
approximately 45 kilometres from Lisbon, the capital of
Portugal.
Besides the numerous monuments, historic places, museums and art
galleries, Setúbal has a fairly busy cultural life, and its
FesTróia film festival and Seixal Jazz music festival are
already known internationally. As the city's population is young,
there are a considerable number of bars, discos and cafés to
suit all tastes and, mainly at the weekend, nightlife on the
streets of Setúbal is very lively.
The coastline, with over 13 kilometres of excellent wide sandy
beaches and quiet zones, provides very pleasant locations for a
range of water sports, such as sailing, windsurfing,
water-skiing, canoeing, rowing, bodyboarding, jet-skiing, diving
and underwater fishing. There are several sailing clubs,
scuba-diving centres and leisure companies that organise a range
of activities, such as trips to see the dolphin community living
in the River Sado, which are an emblematic symbol of the city of
Setúbal.
But Setúbal has even more to offer: the Arrábida range, a
protected area integrated into the Arrábida Natural Park, is
considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Portugal.
Excursions on foot or by 4-wheel drive vehicles, bicycle rides,
hang-glider flights and parachuting are some of the options
available to adventure lovers in the Arrábida range. It is also
an excellent place for rest and contact with nature. The
inhabitants of Setúbal are proud of this imposing natural
monument and consider it to be one of the city's reference
points. |
