Yes , Caldeirão (West Algarve ) . Monchique ( East Algarve ) . Nice train vlog . I enjoyed it very much . Good job ! I travel sometimes in that IC between Lisbon or Coimbra and Porto. The Bar - car is really nice . Years ago , when you could smoke only in the Bar , that carriage was unbearable with the smell and the smoke . I am glad they put an end to that . Nice old ? 😃 train though ! Greetings .

I want to go ride this train for experience it seem to be very cheap for seeing a lot of the country side of Portugal being born in Azores and living abroad for 59 years in L. A. knowing very little of my country I guess it's time to explore the land that I left behind so long ago. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.Obrigado.

I did a portion of this journey back in April, specifically from Coimbra B to Lisboa Oriente. I found the train ride to be silky smooth. I bought my ticket on the app and it was very easy to do. My only complaint was with Oriente station. It looks great from a distance, but inside it feels cavernous and cold, and the wayfinding could be better. Still would recommend, though.

Competition didn’t work in making train travel better and cheaper across the UK. As for price, there are deals to be had if you keep your eyes open. I’ve travelled to both Amsterdam and Paris a number of times and had no problem with cleanliness or seat comfort.

It's not a grueling trip at all. I've done the same trip several times from Porto to Madrid and back with rede expresso, busses are comfortably and clean, stops regular on route to get food etc. It's a nice experience and not grueling

Enjoyable video, many thanks. We did this journey in 2014 on the IC train and really enjoyed it. We’re great fans of Lisbon and Porto, well Portugal in general (except the Algarve where we feel over-development has spoilt its beauty - well on the coast anyway).

Porto and Madrid are linked by Ryanair, I just randomly checked dates at the end of this month and you can get a seat for $19, quite a steal. Flixbus is never a comfortable coach journey in Europe, in North America the legroom is better but South American long distance coaches top the list for me with semi-beds.

@FarooqF-g2x 24 күн бұрын
hi there, it seems that it is not mandatory to book seats which cost additional. If for example, we do not book the seats and have a very long distance journey involving 24 hours or more., what happens with the seats allocation then? Does the driver allocate you the seat randomly when you show your ticket or it is that you are free to sit on those and allocated seats? It seems that on booking page some seats are always marked cross so I assume that those are the seats that have the option to sit randomly?correct me if this is not the case. they are advertising the panorama seeds in the booking page that cost six euros per person, however, from the structure of the bus which is single Decker bus the idea of panorama seat is confusing, because there is another seat ahead of you that is the driver seat, although below. How is the view from that seat is it really called panorama? And is it worth it to take for 24 hour journey?
@seekingtravel 22 күн бұрын
It's really all up to Flixbus. If they allocate seats, you can usually buy them. But sometimes they just allocate you a seat themselves. If you book a ticket and your seat is not on it, it means usually that it's a first come first serve type of situation where you can sit on any available seat. I would personally never take it for 24 hours.
@FarooqF-g2x 22 күн бұрын
@ hi many thanks for your reply. In their app of the FlixBus, there is always an option to purchase a specific seat although there are cross on several of the seats, which means they are unavailable, and this is always the case and I guess that these are those seats, which are free to choose and also cost no extra. On the other hand if you want to select your specific seat, you have to pay some money. Usually it is three euros for a normal seat and six euros for panorama or table seats. By the way for 24 hours which seat you will suggest. Is Panorama really worth it? as I remember there was someone from KZbin who bought a panorama seat only to found out that it is not panorama because there is an other row of seat ahead of it meant for the second driver and according to him Flixbus seating map does not show that which is true. Anyways, would you please suggest a comfortable seat option for 24 hour journey. The problem is that some stations, do not have toilets open as well. There are horrible reviews where FlixBus on both toilets are very, very dirty, smelly and uncleaned. Also, usually they do not have a lot of double-decker buses. Mostly, they have single decker buses. Don’t know why that’s the case though.
