Hello,
We will be travelling from Porto to Lagos by train. We will first take an IC train from Porto Campanhã to Lisboa Oriente.
At Lisboa Oriente, we have a 10-minute connection to another IC train heading to Tunes.
Assuming our first train arrives on time, is 10 minutes generally enough to make the connection at Oriente? Are the IC platforms usually close to each other?
Thank you!
Hello everyone,
We’ll be in the Algarve region for 5–6 days, from August 24 to 29/30. We’ll be relying on public transportation (trains and buses) to get around.
Would you recommend staying in one town (we were thinking of Lagos) and taking day trips, or splitting our stay between two towns, such as Lagos and Albufeira?
We’re also looking for recommendations on which towns and places to visit during our stay. We already have a day trip to Sagres in mind—are there any other places you would recommend?
What about Faro? Is it worth visiting, or would you recommend focusing on other towns instead?
After the Algarve, we’ll be heading to Lisbon. Would taking the train from Lagos to Lisbon be the best option?
Thanks a lot for your help
Hello everyone,
We will be visiting Portugal for 12 days this summer, 21 August to 3 September.
We’ll be flying into Porto and departing from Lisbon. We plan to visit both cities, as well as the Algarve region. We’re not tight in our budget and we like staying in nice hotels.
Our current plan is to spend some time in Porto, then head straight to the Algarve, and finish the trip in Lisbon. Does that sound like a good itinerary?
We enjoy walking and exploring the city we’re in and food experience is a a big part of our travel. We’re not too much into museums, but we like visiting monuments.
For a first visit to Portugal, how many days would you recommend spending in each area? I’m also wondering whether it’s worth including the Douro Valley while we’re in Porto. We’re not huge wine enthusiasts, but we do enjoy beautiful scenery.
Thanks in advance for any tips and advice!
