Train to Lisbon?

[angmsmith]

I’m trying to find a train that will get me to Lisbon from SdC, but all that’s showing up is a bus. Am I missing something?

If the bus is my option, anyone else here have experience with it! I’m not excited about an 8 hour bus ride….

Other options I’m missing?

There are no direct trains. From Santiago to Lisbon by train you would probably need to change trains in Vigo and Porto. A simpler solution would be a bus to Porto then train from there to Lisbon if you do not fancy an 8 hour hour bus journey.

Yep, check out flights too.

I took a train to Porto, walked across the square and hopped another train to Lisbon. Easy. Look on rome2rio

I have taken the bus from Santiago to Lisbon and if I were to make that trip again on public transportation, I’d take the train. Total time on the train, even with the changes in Vigo and Porto, is about the same. The bus has a 45 minute stop at a highway rest stop and restaurant, so you can get out and walk around, but I really don’t like bus travel much, and this was one of my least favorites. Nothing wrong with the bus, the seats, or anything like that, it was just endlessly boring down the super highway.

I don’t know about flights, but my guess is that there’s nothing direct from Santiago to Lisbon.

We are planning to take a bus to Valenca and from there a train to Porto where we will catch the high speed train to Lisbon.
