I will start this May in Santa Comba Dão. From Lisbon I'll get a train (8:30) that arrives 11:30 every day. Then I'll walk the eco track (old deactivated train line) that runs along the rivers Dão and Dinha until the the first oficial CPI way point at Farminhão first auberge of the Portuguese Interior Way . If you do not want to walk 34 Kms you may stay halfway at Tondela at the hotel (50€ a room for two, continental breakfast incl.).
Now, for great information I advise you to check wikiloc.com and search for the user "papaleguas". There you will find all the stages with great descriptions in portuguese, lots of photos and GPS info. If you are not familiar with the portuguese language you may use one of several online translators.
From Porto to Viseu check https://www.rede-expressos.pt
