EAHN Tour to Lisbon After the Guimarães Conference

In addition to the program of seven local and regional tours offered in conjunction with the EAHN First International Meeting in Guimarães, the EAHN will organize a post-conference tour of Lisbon and environs from 21 to 24 June 2010, with an optional additional day on 25 June.  

After an opening dinner the evening of 21 June, the tour will explore historic and contemporary Lisbon over the next two days, including opportunities to meet local architects and scholars.  On 24 June the tour heads for the villeggiatura outskirts of Lisbon, with stops in Belém and Sintra among other destinations.  The optional fifth day continues to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Évora.

The EAHN is committed to offering reasonably priced tours which draw on the expertise of local scholars.  The Lisbon tour is being coordinated by Carmen Popescu, with local organization and general guidance by Maria Helena Barreiros and Margarida Tavares da Conceição; other specialist guides will join the tour when appropriate. Conference registration will not be required for participation in this tour.  A PDF description of the tour including a detailed description of the program and fees is available here. 

Those interested in joining the Lisbon tour should contact Carmen Popescu (crmv@noos.fr).  The registration deadline for the tour is 15 May 2010.
