Train Porto to Lisbon

Any advice/tips about train from Porto to Lisbon? We end the RS trip in Porto and wanted to take the train back to Lisbon for travel back to US. Thanks!

You may book your train tickets on the Portuguese Rail website here: cp.pt
You can take the AP (Alfa Pendular) high speed train that will get you to Lisbon in about 3.5 hours.
Make sure you choose your origin & destination as:
- Porto - Sao Bento
- Lisboa - Santa Apolonia
You’ll need to change trains at Porto - Campanha, a 4-5 train ride from Porto- Sao Bento.

You may consider booking in advance for discounted “Promo” tickets. We normally book 2nd class but the price for 1st class was very reasonable so opted for such. The train was very comfortable.

Upon your arrival to Lisbon, you can take the Metro, or a taxi, to your hotel.

Enjoy your tour!
