GETTING AROUND WITH CONFIDENCE

How to travel around Portugal

There is no single app for the whole network.

The simplest approach is to choose the official service for each journey: train or coach between cities, metropolitan networks in the largest cities, and flights or ferries for the islands.

BEFORE YOU GO

Three simple steps

  1. 01

    Plan the whole journey

    Check not only the main connection but also how you will travel from the station or terminal to your final destination.

  2. 02

    Book with the official operator

    Avoid intermediaries when the operator sells directly. You will have access to the correct conditions, updates and support.

  3. 03

    Check again on the day

    Times, platforms, stops and ferry services can change. Always check the official channel before setting out.

MAINLAND

Travel between cities

Rail is a good first option on the main corridors. Long-distance coaches reach many towns without a direct train service.

LISBON AND PORTO

Metropolitan networks

Portugal's two largest urban areas have their own tickets and journey planners. Check the required zone and validate when boarding and changing services where required.

AUTONOMOUS REGIONS

Travel around the islands

In the Azores, combine inter-island flights and ferries according to route and season. In Madeira and Porto Santo, check the regional bus network and the ferry between the islands.
