Before CGTC V, Recreational Mathematics Colloquium VIII - Gathering for Gardner (Europe) will happen at Pavilhão do Conhecimento, Expo, Lisbon (January 27-29, 2025). Therefore, we provide accommodation suggestions for people attending both RMC VIII and CGTC V who wish to stay on the north bank of the river (Tejo), as well as for those attending only CGTC V who wish to stay on the south bank of the river. Nevertheless, we believe that even for those people, the north bank may be more appealing, as it is closer to the center of Lisbon. Although it may seem complicated at first glance, transportation to the colloquium venues is simple and quick.
