Bus from Lisbon to Algarve

Q: My husband and I will be in Lisbon and we need to travel by train or bus to Faro to arrive approximately midday. Could you please advise the best options available to us? - Ed Walker

A: There are plenty of ways to travel from Lisbon to the Algarve, as it is such a popular route. Probably your best bet is to go by bus. The EVA Expresso Qualidade service offers a luxurious trip, with comfortable seats and an onboard toilet. A one-way ticket costs 19 Euros. The first bus of the day departs from Lisbon at 8.15am and arrives in Faro at 11.30am. You can book and purchase tickets on the www.eva-bus.com website. The train best suited to your needs would be the AP 180 service on the national railway service, CP, which leaves Lisbon Oriente station at 8.40am and arrives in Faro at 11.56am. A first class ticket costs 26 Euros, while a seat in second class is 19.50 Euros. Check out www.venda.cp.pt for booking details.
