Very good video Tony, with practical and simple info about how to get from Lisbon to Porto, excellent. You´ve only missed that Porto has a very good Metro system that you can take directly outside Campanhã train station at...Campanhã Metro station !! The Metro 9 lines take you directly downtown and around the city metropolitan area including the Porto international airport, the seaside areas of Porto and Matosinhos, etc, and even to the resort nearby cities of Vila do Conde an Povoa Varzim. Important to mention on a future video. Anyway and again you´re doing a great job, keep on.

All your Lisbon and Porto videos are SO helpful! Thank you. I have a question regarding luggage size for the overhead storage on the InterCity trains. We will be traveling with three suitcases, one of which is large and doesn't fit into an airplane overhead storage. Is there size limits on the trains for luggage storage? If a suitcase doesn't fit overhead (and clearly it won't fit under the seat) is there additional space somewhere in the carriage? Thanks in advance for any guidance. (We looked at the FAQs on the Comboios de Portugal website but couldn't find an answer to this specific question.)

Hi Elle, you should check the CP baggage rules here: www.cp.pt/passageiros/en/how-to-travel/Useful-information/luggage-transport There is room for large suitcases on one end of the carriages, but on the fast trains you are only allowed to board with just the one piece, any additional piece of luggage is considered as excess baggage. All the very best to you!

CP ticket from Sao Bento, Porto to Apolonia, Lisbon allows 7 minutes for a transfer at Campanha Station from urbano to IC (urbano from Sao Bento-Campanha, then IC from Campanha-Apolonia).

Hi, you will arrive at Campanhã station and look in the panels for the platform where the train to Lisbon depart. Then walk to that platform, the station is very small. If you feel uncomfortable with the time available, you can always take an earlier train from São Bento to Campanhã, leaving you more time for the connection. All the best.

Also, you mentioned that seats on the left side of the train are great for the views. Looking at the train map I'm not sure how to look at the map because I don't know which way the train is facing regarding outbound from Lisbon. Can you let me know an example of seat numbers that are on the left side of the train. I assume that on the return trip to Lisbon the right side would be the better side? Thank you in advance for this and for helping me with other previous questions that I had previously submitted.

My company have branches in Porto and in Lisbon and because work they send me lots of times to Porto and they pay me the train ticket (they refuse to buy the bus ticket, because they want to be lower carbon emissions), and they refuse we use the company car (it's impossible because is a Renault zoe electric and we need to recharge lots of times to make the trip) and i travel in AP ( AlfaPendular the train that reach 220km/h) and i know well the views and the right side is the best between Lisbon and Porto and the left side if you go from Porto to Lisbon.

Hi David, yes, you are unlikely to be able to buy an open jaw ticket at CP website.

It's easy you come out of train in Lisbon Oriente and catch a train in that same station but in different platform (that start there and go to Sintra ( the stations are by memory, Oriente - Braço de Prata - RomaAreeiro - Entrecampos - Sete Rios - Sta Cruz Damaia, and more 12 stations) it take 50 minutes from Oriente to Sintra. It's suburban train.

Tony, thank you for this video. Question, does one need to purchase a ticket on line or can one show up at the train station and pay cash? Also, how often does the train run from Porto to Lisbon, are there several choices throughout the day? I just checked out that website you listed below and can only view the schedule through April. We're traveling in September.

Hi Dalila, there are many services during the day, you can simulate a trip for next month to see the schedules. Tickets go on sale two months before travel. If you wait til the day of travel, you will pay the most expensive fare and your risk not finding seats in the train of your choice.

Hi Tony, Obrigado pela sua resposta. I watched the video from the link above. Great Video!!! I learned from your video that the train from Vigo to Porto is Celta comboy or Celta train, an international train operated by CP. Thank you. I learned as well from your video that there is Flixbus company that has a route that starts from Coruña in Galicia and passes through Santiago de Compostela, Vigo, Braga, and arrives at Porto. My itinerary will be from Santiago de Compostela to Lisbon. It looks like I have to take three trains: Santiago de Compostela to Vigo, Vigo to Porto, and Porto to Lisbon. I would like to know if I can bring my bike inside the train/bus. Do I need to have a bike bag in order to travel in the train/bus? I believe I can travel from Santiago de Compostela to Vigo by train. Obrigado!!!
