This page has been created with information taken from on line and printed timetables, the official websites and checked locally whenever possible.
Please read! This page summarises some of the
long-distance services operated by the Rede Expressos consortium (and
some other companies) from Lisbon and Porto to and from some of
the more requested tourist destinations in Portugal, in particular
the Algarve. I have some of the current timetable leaflets for
Rede-Expressos routes to and from Lisbon, so if there is a place
you are looking for that is not included below, please email
me with your query. Please however read the whole page and
check the websites first, as I do have a real life.The basic point
to point times can be checked by selecting origin and destination
then OK BUT THEN NOT selecting a particular date. The days and
dates of running are shown in only in Portuguese, so ensure you
properly understand this information. The expressions in
Portuguese for days of the week are quite unlike anywhere else!
2ª = Monday, 3ª = Tuesday, 4ª = Wednesday 5ª = Thursday and 6ª =
Friday while Sábado and Domingo you will recognise. Até means
'until' while Entre means 'between' and A partir de means ' from
the date...'.
You must always re-check times for the EXACT date you wish to
travel when tickets are available, a maximum 30 days in advance. I
have done my best below to indicate the approximate level of
service. In the absence of a general timetable, it is far too time
consuming to check every date for every destination!
This can be viewed here and will open a
new window or tab. Many small towns may have only one or two
journeys a day, a few not even daily service. CHECK THE
TIMETABLES!!
Seat reservations are required for all Rede Expressos services.
You can normally reserve on-line up to 30 days ahead of travel at
the website, by telephone or at the bus terminals or ticket
agents. Rede-Expressos tickets can be purchased at the website
using credit cards or PayPal. There is only a limited refund
available for tickets purchased on line, but this is never given
after the booked journey has departed. Check the terms and
conditions here.
When in the payment process, you will see a section labelled
INVOICE DATA. If you are not a Portuguese tax payer IGNORE THIS
COMPLETELY!! Please take a look at a screen capture here.
If you are a Portuguese tax payer, you will know what this means.
The Rede-Expressos ticketing systems allow you to book a through
ticket from just about anywhere to anywhere else. Any change of
vehicle required (always in Lisbon if that's on your route) is
clearly indicated. Don't forget that Lisbon is 'LISBOA' in
Portuguese. However sometimes you will need two separate tickets.
Your ticket will show VIATURA (route or vehicle number) which is
on the front of the vehicle and also shown on departure screens at
larger bus stations. If in doubt, ask. On some routes you will
also be assigned a seat number (lugar) which is also shown on your
ticket. However on many services you sit where you like.
Many ticket offices and agents in small towns keep limited hours, especially at weekends and on holidays. Many calls are just a bus stop. If you turn up, with no ticket, at the last moment and the next bus is full, you will be sold a ticket for the first bus on which there is a seat, which might be tomorrow! If you are making a long journey and do not have a ticket, be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your departure time or buy a ticket on line. Tickets purchased via the website can be either self print or sent to a suitable mobile device.
A list of Rede-Expressos ticket offices and sales agents can be
found on their website, click Postos de
Venda or Points of Sale on their home page and then choose the
place you need from the list. Rede - Expressos call centre
number is 707 22 33 44 available 0800 - 2100 daily.
WIFI is available on all vehicles normally used in service. There
will however be many remote areas where there is poor or
non-existent connection. At busy times, extra vehicles 'borrowed'
and pressed into service may not have wifi
As a VERY rough indication of the cost, an hour's ride with Rede
Expressos will cost you €7.00, but the longer the journey, the
cheaper it gets. Rede-Expressos is a group of several operators,
so your vehicle may have a different company name on it.
A return (round-trip) ticket is a little cheaper than two one-way
tickets. However you can only buy a return ticket if your trip is
with 30 days of booking, both ways.
Discounted tickets, half the standard price or less, are often
available when purchased in advance via the website
or app.
Children under 4 years
who do not occupy a seat travel free. Children aged 4 to 13 years
travel half price. Once they are 14, they pay full fare, unless
holding a student or youth discount card.
Seniors - those 65 years or older have a small discount on
the normal fare. Photo ID must be carried on the journey as proof.
These are very busy times on all the long distance routes. You
are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance wherever possible!
On many routes there are extra journeys on Fridays and Sundays
during the University and College term time, which is from the
second Monday in September until the 30th June. I cannot show all
these in the time tables below, but they will be available on the
official websites. All long distance routes are subject to
alteration around major holidays eg Christmas, New Year and
Easter. It is impossible for me to include all these variations
here. Intending travellers should especially be aware that :
Most of the REDE EXPRESSOS services on this page run from
and to the LISBON SETE RIOS bus terminal. This is 3 miles
/ 5 km from the city centre, but is well served by city buses (http://carris.pt/
for details), the Metro (Jardim Zoológico station; http://metrolisboa.pt/
for details) and by suburban trains to Sete Rios station (www.cp.pt Urbanos
Lisboa). In all cases allow at least 20 minutes to make your
connection, as it is a bit of a maze around there. If you are
arriving at Sete Rios and need a taxi, there is a taxi rank to the
left of the exit. Sete Rios is about 5.7miles / 9.2 km from the
airport - see below for travel options.
They also use the LISBON GARE ORIENTE terminal, which is
next to the railway and metro stations of the same name. This is
about 5.75 miles / 9.0 km from the city centre but only 2.9km
/1.8 miles the airport, with a direct metro connection. I
have marked where known which journeys use Oriente rather than
Sete Rios. A few trips to and from the Algarve towns call at both.
Some cities and towns in the north of the country also have
service to and from both Sete Rios and Oriente, so check times to
and from both.
Some routes use both Sete Rios and Oriente. It is always worth
checking times at both, especially if you are travelling from or
to Lisbon Airport. CITIEXPRESS services to the north-east
use both Sete Rios and Oriente. Tickets for Citiexpress are sold
through the Rede-Expressos website.
RODOVÍARIO DO TEJO and RODOVIARIAOESTE are regional
operators (websites via this page www.rodotejo.pt)
whose 'rápidas' buses to the popular tourist destination of Óbidos
use LISBON CAMPO GRANDE bus station, which is next to the
Metro station of the same name and about 4.5 miles / 7.3 km from
the city centre. There is allegedly a ticket office near the
metro station entrance but I never saw it. You can buy your
tickets on the bus. The MAFRENSE bus company, for buses to
Mafra and Ericeira, also use Campo Grande but different stops.
A few other companies are mentioned in the timetables below as
required. For a longer list of regional bus operators in Portugal,
click here.
NONE of the national long distance companies have departures from
Lisbon Airport. You will need to make your way to the appropriate
bus terminal. Approximate distances from the airport to the bus
terminals - Campo Grande 2.1 miles/3.3km , Oriente 1.8
miles/2.9km; Sete Rios 5.7miles/9.2km. Taxis and Uber are readily
available at the airport should you not wish to use metro
(underground / subway) train or bus.
Metro / subway / underground to Oriente or Sete Rios Railway
and Bus Stations
You can take a bus or the Metro (subway) from the airport across
town to Oriente or Sete Rios. The Metro runs every few minutes
from 6am to 1am daily and will take you to Oriente in about 7
minutes and Jardim Zoológico (for the Sete Rios terminal) in about
25 minutes. Tickets are €2,15 for any journey, which includes 50
cents for the rechargeable ticket card.
City bus to Oriente Railway and Bus Station
Carris city bus 744 will take you to Gare Oriente. Cash
fare on this bus is €2,00. The bus will be going to MOSCAVIDE.
First bus 0650hrs weekdays and Saturdays, 0740hrs Sundays and
Holidays Last bus 2205hrs weekdays, 2150hrs Saturdays, Sundays and
Holidays. Buses run about every 16 minutes on weekdays, every 20 -
30 minutes at weekends. This bus runs less frequently on weekdays
during AUGUST.
Aerobus to Sete Rios
Service no longer operating.
Bus to Campo Grande - there isn't one!
There is no practicable route by metro and no direct bus link
between the airport and Campo Grande Norte for the bus terminal
there. Bus 783 from the airport, direction Amoreiras,
stops approx. 850 metres from the Campo Grande terminal. Lisbon
city bus maps and times are at www.http://carris.transporteslisboa.pt/.pt
List of timetables - click to jump to the timetable you need.
On most Public Holidays the timetable is the same as
Sundays.Especially at Easter, Christmas and New Year. In addition,
many late evening and 'overnight' services do not run on December
24th and December 31st. Announcements are made about a month
beforehand.

Lisbon Oriente bus station and Faro via Albufeira. Some

Albufeira is not at the main bus station. They stop in
the Avenida da Liberdade, in the old town. Local buses
and taxis are available there if required. The main bus
station for connections to nearby towns is about 1 mile
(1.6km) away. Local buses on both routes go there from
the old town stop. Their Faro stop is in Avenida. Prof. Dr. Adelino da Palma Carlos, opposite the prison! It's about 750 metres from the railway station and about 1km from the Faro bus station.

Also, Lisbon Campo Grande to Nazaré at 1730 and1820 on weekdays only, Nazaré to Lisbon Campo Grande at 0625 and 0730 on weekdays only. These run via Caldas da Rainha and Óbidos (see below) and are NOT part of the Rede-Expressos network. |
LISBON <> ÓBIDOS <> CALDAS DA RAINHA by Rodoviária do Oeste 'RAPIDA VERDE'![]() |
|
These buses run from and to Campo Grande, about 5 miles/8km
from Lisbon city centre, next to the metro station of the
same name. These are NOT part of the Rede-Expressos network. One way adult fare from Lisbon to Óbidos is €8.50, Caldas da Rainha €8.60. Children aged 4 to 12 travel half price. A seniors discount is available if you are over 65. ID required. The ticket office in Campo Grande, Lisbon, is allegedly next to the Metro station entrance but I never saw it. You can pay the driver. |
The stop at CAMPO GRANDE bus
station is in Rua Actor António Silva, near the tall
apartment blocks. A printable timetable is here. Buses
take an hour to reach Óbidos and fifteen minutes more to get
to Caldas da Rainha. Some journeys start from or continue to
Alcobaça or Nazaré - see the timetable for details. On weekdays, there are buses every one or two hours for most of the day, but as frequent as every 15 minutes for commuters at peak times. There are currently eleven buses each way at weekends and public holidays. Weekday peak times : towards Lisbon 0530 - 0830, from Lisbon 1600 - 1900. Click here for more information that will help you find the bus stops in Lisbon and Óbidos |
The same company operates local buses for the ten minute journey between Óbidos and Caldas da Rainha - for times look under 'INTERURBANAS' on http://rodoviariadooeste.pt/ but be aware that local buses are very infrequent at weekends and virtually non-existent on public holidays |
LISBON <> BATALHA- Rede ExpressosOne way fare €12.00 Journey two hours. Subject to alteration around major public holidays. Operated by Rede-Expressos. There are four journeys each day, the first from Lisbon is at 1200hrs. The last journey back to Lisbon is at 1815hrs. A better day trip is possible if you go to Leiria and then take a local bus to Batalha, but only on weekdays. Batalha has a fairly good local bus service from Leiria on weekdays, but there are only two buses each way at weekends. See www.rodotejo.pt for details. |
