You are crossing the whole country, roughly 570 km of road, so the right choice depends on whether you value time, money or comfort. In short, you can drive in about 5.5 hours, take the train with a change at Tunes in about 7 hours, or fly to Faro and finish by road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/blog\/porto-to-lagos-portugal\/#What_Is_the_Best_Way_From_Porto_to_Lagos_Quick_Answer\" >What Is the Best Way From Porto to Lagos?

(Quick Answer)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a car, the train is the best balance of price and comfort. With a car, driving is the fastest. For a family or heavy luggage, fly to Faro and book a pre arranged ride onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Porto_to_Lagos_Compared_Time_Cost_and_Best_Use\"><\/span>Porto to Lagos Compared: Time, Cost and Best Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Option<\/th><th>Typical time<\/th><th>Typical cost<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Train via Tunes<\/td><td>7h15 to 7h35<\/td><td>\u20ac35 to \u20ac65<\/td><td>Comfort without a car<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bus (FlixBus, Rede Expressos)<\/td><td>8h or more<\/td><td>\u20ac30 to \u20ac65<\/td><td>Tight budgets<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Drive<\/td><td>5h25 to 5h30<\/td><td>\u20ac95 to \u20ac140 incl. fuel and tolls<\/td><td>Flexibility, groups<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fly Porto to Faro, then road<\/td><td>4 to 5h door to door<\/td><td>Varies by season<\/td><td>Speed with luggage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rome2Rio puts the fastest option at driving in 5h 23m, and the best car free route at around 7h 14m for \u20ac35 to \u20ac65. Treat every figure as a guide and confirm before you book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Far_Is_Porto_From_Lagos\"><\/span>How Far Is Porto From Lagos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driving distance is about 568 km. Other planners list anything from 555 to 640 km depending on the exact start and end points, so use it as an estimate. You travel the full length of the country, from the Douro region to the western end of the Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_There_a_Direct_Train_From_Porto_to_Lagos\"><\/span>Is There a Direct Train From Porto to Lagos?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Two Alfa Pendular services run directly from Porto to Faro via Lisbon, and you change at Tunes for a local train to Portim\u00e3o and Lagos. The reason is electrification: only the section between Tunes and Faro is electrified, so passengers heading to Lagos change at Tunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How the journey works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Board at Porto Campanh\u00e3, the long distance station for Comboios de Portugal (CP).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose Alfa Pendular for speed or Intercidades for a cheaper seat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay on until Tunes and cross to the Lagos platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ride the regional train for the final stretch. That leg takes 45 to 60 minutes and seats are not allocated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book through CP or Omio, the only sites authorised to sell Portuguese train tickets, and every long distance ticket includes a reserved seat. Prices rise as seats sell, so book early on cp.pt. Read the full route guide at Seat61.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Porto_to_Lagos_by_Bus\"><\/span>Porto to Lagos by Bus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheapest tickets usually involve a change in Lisbon. FlixBus runs a direct service from Porto Terminal Intermodal de Campanh\u00e3 to Lagos once daily. Rede Expressos also serves the route. Direct departures are limited, so check availability before you plan around them. Buses suit budget travellers who do not mind a long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_From_Porto_to_Lagos_Portugal\"><\/span>Driving From Porto to Lagos Portugal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expect the A1 south, then the A13, A2 and A22 to Lagos. One regional tourism page describes the route as the A1, A13, A2 and A22, leaving the A22 at exit 1 for the N125. Most of these roads charge tolls, so ask your rental company about an electronic toll device. One way rentals often add a drop off fee, so compare quotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful stop is Lisbon or \u00c9vora. Splitting the drive turns a long day into a pleasant road trip, though fitting the whole route into one day is tiring. Parking in Lagos old town is limited, which matters if you are weighing a rental against a driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fly_Porto_to_Faro_Then_Continue_to_Lagos\"><\/span>Fly Porto to Faro, Then Continue to Lagos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several low cost carriers fly Porto to Faro, and the flight is short. Lagos is about 58 minutes from Faro airport by road. The weak point is the last hour. Taxi queues, app fares and late arrivals can turn it into the most stressful part of the trip. That is where <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/transfers\">a pre booked airport transfer<\/a> helps. We explain the benefits in our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/blog\/scheduled-airport-transfer-benefits\/\">scheduled airport transfers<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/editoryhotels.com\/en\/aqualuz-lagos\/experiences\/destination-lagos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">editoryhotels<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Option_Suits_You\"><\/span>Which Option Suits You?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solo or couple, no car:<\/strong> train via Tunes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strict budget:<\/strong> bus, if the timing works.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Family with luggage:<\/strong> fly to Faro, then a private ride.

Arriving by air at Faro, you still have the final stretch. Our local drivers meet you at Faro, Tunes or Lagos and take you to your door. If you land late, <a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/booking\">book your transfer online<\/a> so someone is waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_Most_of_Your_First_Days_in_Lagos\"><\/span>Make the Most of Your First Days in Lagos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a long journey, a relaxed first outing helps.
