Vidigueira is a pleasant small town of about 5,000 inhabitants
located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, on the road between
Beja and Évora. It's an important and historic wine making region,
noted since Roman times.
I do not set out how to get there and how to get around by car.
That's easy! What I do outline in this page is how to get to
Vidigueira by public transport from Lisbon and further afield.
You will need to make your way from the airport to the SETE RIOS
bus terminal. This is about 3 miles/5km from the airport and is
linked to it by the underground metro line. Take any train to the
end of the line at Săo Sebastiăo then change to the Blue Line for
a two stop ride to Jardim Zoológico station, which is adjacent to
Sete Rios. Trains run every few minutes from 0630 daily. The
journey will take around 25 minutes and cost €2,30 (cash)
including 50 cents for the rechargeable ticket card, or €1,80
using contactless card payment.
The direct Aerobus service between the Airport and Sete Rios is
no longer operating. For your bus options from elsewhere in the
city check the city bus website at http://carris.pt/
Consult the long distance bus website www.rede-expressos.pt
for Lisbon - Vidigueira times and tickets, remember it's LISBOA on
the timetable search. One-way standard fare is currently €14,
reduced price tickets are often available for advance purchase.
There are currently four journeys each way on weekdays, three on
Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. You must have a ticket before
boarding the bus. The local ticket agent in Vidigueira is
GARRAFEIRA A VIDEIRA, next to the bus stop. Rede Expressos can be
used for the short journeys to and from Beja and Évora. There are
very few other buses. Rede Expressos will also have connections at
Lisbon, Beja and Évora with other parts of Portugal.

There are two direct journeys every
day between Faro and Vidigueira via Albufeira. One in the morning,
one in the afternoon / evening in each direction. Consult the Rede
Expressos website as above.
The Rede Expressos stop is in Rua de
Portel, in the town centre. There is nothing there other than the
stop and a shelter.
If you have any comments or updates for this page, I will be pleased to receive them by email. For more about Vidigueira as a town, please see this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidigueira I can recommend the excellent Hotel Santa Clara in the town centre. They do a good breakfast buffet but there is no dining room. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, plus a good supermarket.
I take no responsibility for any inconvenience caused as a result of later changes to times etc. This page is for general guidance only and you must check details before making commitments and decisions!
