How to get to NOS Alive?

The best way to get there is by subway and train. Get the subway to “Cais Sodré” station. At “Cais Sodré” get the train to “Algés”- all trains stop in “Algés” train station. The Algés station is a minute's walk from the entrance of the festival. During festival days, the train runs 24 hours a day and during night you can catch it every 30 minutes. Do not go by car because it is very difficult to park in here.

A melhor maneira para chegar ao Nos Alive é apanhar o metro e comboio. Apanha o metro até ao Cais do Sodré e depois apanha o comboio até Algés - todos os comboios param em Algés. Esta estação fica a um minuto da entrada do festival. Durante estes dias, o comboio funciona 24 horas por dia, e durante a noite tens sempre um a cada 30 minutos. Não vás de carro, é muito difícil estacionar nesta zona.

Festival Map and Prices

Here is a map of NOS Alive 2014, we believe that this year's is going to be very similiar. The festival has several restaurant areas and prices go from 4 to 8 euros per dish. The food is the same as in any other festival: burguers, sandwiches, pizza.. Fast food.

However, if you dont want to spend money on food, you can bring homemade sandwiches! The security team allows that, but you can't bring more elaborate food or drinks.

The beer, a glass of wine, water or juices cost 2 euros.

Aqui está o mapa do NOS Alive 2014, e acreditamos que este ano vai ser muito parecido. O festival tem diversas zonas de restauração, e os preços variam entre os 4 e 8 euros por prato. A comida aqui é igual a qualquer outro festival: hamburguers, sandes, pizzas..

Porém, se não quiseres gastar dinheiro em comida podes sempre trazer sandes feitas de casa. A segurança do festival permite a entrada de sandes, mas não podes trazer comidas mais elaboradas nem bebidas.

Uma cerveja, um copo de vinho, agua e sumos custam por volta dos 2 euros.
