How to Get
to Coimbra
Coimbra is located 200 km north of Lisbon and 100 km south
of Porto. The best way to get to Coimbra is to fly to
Lisboa or Porto and then rent a car or take a train.
Driving from Lisbon
On the way out of the Airport follow the signs for "A1",
heading north. After 200 km, exit at "Coimbra Sul".
Traveling by train from Lisbon
- Take the subway (3 stations, 10 min., around 1.5 €) or a taxi (10 min., around 10 €) from the airport to the “Lisboa-Oriente” railway station. In case you choose to take a taxi, as the ride from the airport to the train station is very short it is advisable to take a taxi outside the departure hall, instead of taking it in the arrivals area.
- Go to the upper ticketing level at the station and buy a ticket for an “Alfa Pendular” or “InterCidades” train. Trains depart during all day and the journey takes less than two hours. Timetables available at: http://www.cp.pt/StaticFiles/Passageiros/horarios/horarios/PDF/ap_ic/ap_ic.pdf (look for "Sentido Lisboa > Norte", from Lisboa-Oriente to Coimbra-B).
- Get off the train at “Coimbra B”.
- Either take a taxi directly to your Hotel (it should cost less than 5 €) or take a local train to “Coimbra A” (downtown station), using your previous ticket (this transfer is included in the price).
