How to reach Coimbra
Coimbra is easily reachable by train from the major 2 international airports in Lisbon (200km) or Porto
(100km). Trains leave on time and very regularly every 30-45 min ultil 10 pm (see pdf with the complete
timetable).
From Lisbon the train station to go is Lisboa-Oriente following direction Coimbra-B. The trains to catch are
also in the pdf (called AP(alfapendular) or IC (intercidades). The trip is around 2.30min and trains are quite
confortable.
From Porto trains are the same (AP or IC) leave from station Porto-Campanha to Coimbra B (1 hour travel).
Please note that in Porto the airport has a direct connection to the train station (by city train) and in Lisbon
there is also a metro station (just 1 station) that leaves you directly from the airport to Gare Oriente.
