Public transport by bus in the Algarve

Travelling by public transport in the Algarve offers you a reasonable network of local and regional buses. The main regional bus companies are Eva-Bus and Frotazul.

Unfortunately, their websites are not always up-to-date and lack detail. One Algarve resident and frequent bus traveller, Mr. Thomas Allen, shares his knowledge about public transport on his website.

Although this is not an official website, we often use it. See here his list of timetables and Algarve Bus Map. He also made an Albufeira Bus Map.

Transport by train in the Algarve

De ´Comboios De Portugal` keeps a regional train alive between Vila Real Sant Antonio (Spanish border) and Lagos in the West-Algarve. It is a rather slow, but a charming and low cost way of travelling in the Algarve. Buy a train ticket at www.cp.pt or check this PDF for the latest info on train times and stations.

Coming from the direction Faro and Albufeira several trains are going to Lagos.
