BUS Info
The Boom Bus is a charter bus service for a safer, more
comfortable and sustainable Boom experience. It is part of
our environmental program as a public transport project,
aiming to decrease CO2 emissions.
This service provides transport from Lisbon and Madrid
directly to the festival and possible connection with the
After Boom. In 2012 we transported more than 5.000
boomers and everybody had a great experience.
There are also connections from France, Switzerland and
Belgium offered from our official partner. You can get more
info regarding departure cities, timetables and prices and
get your trip tickets for these countries HERE.
Similarly to the last edition, the Boom Bus will get into the
Boom venue one day before the official gates opening:
youll be able to choose the best place to camp and have
some relaxing moments around the lake, enjoying the
sculptural and unspoilt landscape of inland Portugal.
Good news? Besides all the comfort of travelling with our
psy buses, our Bus tickets prices will remain the same
during all sales phases. Check out our prices for round trips,
departure places and timetables.
It would be a
good idea to
learn a few words
in Portuguese in
case you need to
ask for directions
or advice.

CAMPING AT
CAMPING AREA
GUIDELINES
Get familiar with the site and the site map. It
could help to avoid getting lost (even if getting
lost is the only way to find yourself again!) The
Caravan Park A and Camping areas are located
within the Boom Land, just a few minutes walk
from the main music and food areas, while
Caravan Park B is inside the Boom Land but a
bit futher.
Upon arrival follow the signs for Camping,
camping anywhere outside the designated
camping area is strictly prohibited!!! Any tents
outside the camping area will be removed
and turned into a beautiful recycled art
installation!!!
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
LEAVE NO TRACE
Reduce disposable non-biodegradable products
in your bag.
DONT PUT ANYTHING BUT HUMAN WASTE
INSIDE THE COMPOST TOILETS. Put wet wipes,
baby diapersand the like in the provided
containers.
Leave the Boom Land clean and more beautiful
than you found it! Dont leave your rubbish
behind, but only in the designated areas.
Note: If you cant carry your tent, shade or
any other structure back home, pack it down
and bring it to the Info Stand, so that it can be
reused.
NO PETS ALLOWED
Please do not bring your cat, dog, rabbit,
hamster or goat to Boom.
Besides being a very loud place, highly
unsuitable for pets, the Boom site is abundant
of leishmaniasis, a disease that can kill animals!
Weve had very tragic events in the past and we
hope youll understand (and your pets too).
Note: in Caravan Park B, it is allowed to keep
dogs, but always on a leash or inside the caravan,
to avoid dog fights.
NO GLASS
PITCHING TENT IN THE DARK
You may not be able to find a good spot by
night. Try to wait for the daylight to decide a
permanent camping spot. If you decide to pitch
in the dark anyway, make sure you have a bright
flashlight / headlamp and respect all plants, even
the smallest and the sleeping neighbors!
VALUABLES
We recommend that you never leave your
valuables in the tent!

NO FIRES!
Considering the high
temperature and the dryness
of the terrain, THERE IS A VERY
HIGH RISK OF FIRE ON THE
BOOM LAND, so the following
rules are to be carefully
respected by every single
Boomer.
BBQs, camp fires, camping
stoves are not allowed
anywhere outside the
community kitchen at the
camping area. There are two
community kitchens in the
camping area, built for this
purpose.
Candles, burning incense
and any similar fire device are
strictly prohibited all across the
Boom land and its surroundings
(including Caravan Park B)!!!
If you need contact with fire,
remember that at Sacred Fire a
big flame is always burning, so
please opt to go there!
Know where the fire
extinguishers are!
If you see anyone disrespecting
these rules, please gently try to
convince him/her to extinguish
the fire and if that is not complied,
seek assistance from security or
firemen (check map for FiremenBombeiros- location).

ECO TIP
SCORPIONS
There are no lethal scorpions on site, though a smaller type of scorpion (known in Portuguese as
lacrau) can show up in this region. The sting can be quite painful, at least for the first few hours. Seek
immediate medical attention to prevent swelling and further pain (see below our note on the Boom
Medical Service). Be careful when moving stones and rocks as these are the places where they like
to hide. Also make a habit of checking the inside of your shoes before putting them on, especially at
night. They are a gentle species so please respect them!
HARMFUL BACTERIA
EAR PLUGS
Loud music can be harmful for your ears! Even
if the sound systems we use at Boom are of
the highest quality, we recommend that when
you are on the dance floors you use ear plugs.
Overexposure to high decibels can create long
term damage!
FIREMEN
Firemen service is available 24h, check Boom
Land for location.
SECURITY
Security at Boom is friendly and helpful. They patrol each area of the festival including camping and
caravanpark. Respect their advice and seek their assistance in case of need.
Remember that for any emergency you can go to the info stand.

IDANHA-A-NOVA:
THE NEAREST TOWN
Its the nearest town to Boom
Festival (18 km) where all basic
commodities are available
(ATM, supermarket, shops,
etc.). Its difficult to pinpoint its
origins but its assumed that
the construction of the castle
in 1187 by the Templar Knights
is a landmark. Presently, in this
region the ancient and the
contemporary live in harmony.
surroundings
Boom Festival takes place in a region of Portugal
extremely rich with ancient culture and natural
wonders.
F O R
B O O M E R S
Idanha-a-Velha is an
amazingly beautiful tiny village
just a couple of km from the
Boom Land. It is considered
one of the oldest villages in
Portugal (about 2000 years
old!) where Lusitanos, Romans,
Moors, Celts, Visigoths and
Templar
Knights
have all
left a trace
of their
presence:
the

with the

NATURAL HERITAGE
Vast landscapes that change color through the
seasons, breathtaking natural scenarios populated by
an extremely diverse fauna: deer, foxes, hares, snakes,
wolves and several species of rare birds. While the flora
comprises plants like jasmine, olives, cork-oaks, pine
trees, oaks and wild roses just to name a few.
Boom is located in the Geopark Naturtejo, part of
the Global Network of National Geoparks created
by UNESCO and a place where geological heritage
is connected to broader aspects of the natural and
cultural environment, which are often determined by
geology and landscape.
