| BUYING TRAIN TICKET AT THE STATION - IF THE BUS
ARRIVES 5 OR 6 MINUTES BEFORE THE TRAIN LEAVES YOU MAY NOT
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BUY A TICKET. BUY YOUR TICKET AT
WWW.CP.PT OR USE THEIR 'APP'. |
| *** There are NO direct buses from the old town towards the railway station. You must always go via the main bus station. Allow plenty of time |
| Note 1
- I was on on the 1655 train arrival on 27th February and
the 1655 bus to Albufeira was conveniently 3 minutes late!
Don't rely on that. |
| Note 2
- Bus connection only available IN SUMMER |
| Note 3
- I would not take a chance on this to catch the train to
Lagos if you do not already have a ticket. |
