Information updated on 1st November 2026. Timetable valid until further notice.
Official complete AP/ IC timetable here

This page is not about the Algarve! I have created it as an add-on to my Algarve trains page.

Different types of train have different fares

AP - Fast Alfa Pendular train. More expensive than the IC (Intercidades) trains. Reservation is compulsory on all AP (Alfa Pendular) and IC (Intercidades) trains.
The sooner you buy tickets, the less it will cost. The very cheap PROMO tickets are not refunded if not used.
Tickets can be purchased at the Comboios de Portugal (CP) website or using the Comboios de Portugal app or their approved re-seller omio.com up to 60 days in advance. Or at the station on the day, if seats are available.
Do not use websites like RailNinja and Kiwi Rail! CP will not honour these 'tickets'.
 IR - inter-regional train. No reservations available. REG - regional train. No reservations available. The price is always the same whether purchased in advance or on the day.
Anyone aged 65 or older can travel half price. ID e.g. passport number required at the time of purchase and which must be carried on the journey.

Other IC trains are available between Lisbon Santa Apolónia, Oriente and Coimbra-B.
Other regional (REG) and local (Urbanos) trains run between Coimbra-B, Aveiro and Porto. Reservations not available. Check times at https://www.cp.pt/
