Train

 

Trains in Portugal are fantastic value, very comfortable, clean and frequent. They are very popular and in our experience it has been always possible to just turn up and book a seat on the next train. 

Arrival at Porto:  Aiport-> Campanha-> Coimbra-B-> Figueira da Foz

Take the metro from the Airport to 'Porto-Campanha' rail station in Porto. Then take a train to Coimbra-'B' station and change there for Figueira. (Cost about €20 single- kids under 5 free, 6-12 half price). If you can, take the fast train through to Alfarelos rather than Coimbra-B, as you'll then be much closer to Figueira before making the connection to Figueira.

Arrival at Lisbon:  Oriente-> Coimbra-B-> Figueira da Foz

Take the metro (Red Line) at the airport or a taxi from the Airport to 'Oriente' rail station in Lisbon (about 5 mins and €5). Then take a train to either Alfarelos or Coimbra-'B' station and change there for the train to Figueira. (Cost about €19- kids under 5 free, 6- 12 half price)

Bus: There is an extensive bus network in Portugal and a coach service direct from Lisbon to Figueira that takes 3 hours and costs about €18 and provides wifi. The bus leaves from Station Sete Rios in central Lisbon and to get there from the airport either catch a  taxi (€10 or less) or take the 'Aero Bus' from outside the airport - two stops , costs €3.50 and runs every 40 minutes weekdays and hourly weekends and holidays. Information on times , directions etc from tourist information at the airport.
