Are you landing in the Lisbon
International Airport (Portela)?
Do you want
to go from the airport to Algarve by Bus?
I'll tell you the best way to do it. I will also show it to you with
pictures (click to
enlarge). Because a picture is worth a thousand words,
right?
So, if you want to take a Bus (Expresso)
to Algarve you have to go to the Lisbon Bus Terminal located in
Sete-Rios.
This is not very far from the Airport but you have to catch a Taxi or
the AeroShuttle to get there.
Once you are there you can buy your ticket and take the Bus (here we
call it Expresso) to the city or place in Algarve that you want.
But, to make your life easier, I'll show you how to do it with a few
easy steps.
1. Land in
the Lisbon International Airport.
Don't forget to check your luggage to see if everything is ok.
2.
Look for
this Airport Exit (Saída/Exit 2).
3. Go to the
AeroShuttle Bus Stop.
It's right in front of the Airport Exit, so you can't miss it.
AeroShuttle passes every 30 minutes.
4. When the
AeroShuttle arrive, ask the driver if it is heading
to Sete-Rios.
You have to ask the driver to be sure, because
the same Bus Stop is used to go to other directions. (You don't want to
go the wrong way, right?)
5. Enter the
AeroShuttle and buy your tickets.
One adult ticket costs 3,5 Euros.
6. Arrive to
Sete-Rios.
7. Get out of
the AeroShuttle.
8. Cross the
street to go to the Bus Station (Terminal dos
Expressos).
9. Enter the
Bus Station (Rede-Expressos).
10. Buy your
ticket at the Ticket Office (Bilheteiras)
You can also buy it online
before you arrive at www.rede-expressos.pt.
Only seven days available.
11. Check out
the Expresso number and the time of departure (partida).
12. Enter the
Expresso and enjoy the tour
If you decide
to take a Taxi (in the picture below), just follow the
steps 1-3 and then take the taxi right in front of the Airport Exit.
The taxi driver will leave you inside the Expresso Terminal.
After that, just
follow the steps 10-12.
I hope this information helps go from the Lisbon Airport to Algarve by
Bus.

all Europe.
