Discover the Historical Charm of Portimão Porto

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, use the A22 motorway, which is the main route through the Algarve region. From Faro, take the A22 west towards Lagos. Exit at Portimão (Exit 5). Follow the signs for Portimão, and after a few minutes, you will enter the city. Continue to follow the signs for 'Centro' or 'Ribeirinha'. The port is located near the waterfront area on Ribeirinha street, with a parking area available nearby.

• Public Transportation - Bus

  For those using public transportation, take the EVA bus service from major towns in Algarve, such as Faro or Lagos, to Portimão. Buses run regularly, and tickets can be purchased directly from the driver or at the EVA ticket office. The journey from Faro takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and from Lagos, it takes about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the Portimão bus station, it's a short 15-minute walk to the port area. Head towards the waterfront, following signs for 'Ribeirinha'.

• Public Transportation - Train

  Alternatively, you can take a train to Portimão from Faro. Catch the train at Faro station; it runs approximately every hour and the journey takes about 1 hour. Once you arrive at the Portimão train station, take a taxi or local bus to reach the port area. Taxis are available outside the station and the fare to the port should be around €5-€10.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or using a ride-sharing service like Uber from your location in the Algarve. Taxis can be hailed from the street or booked via phone. The cost will vary depending on your starting point but expect to pay between €10-€30 depending on distance. This option is especially convenient if you are traveling with luggage.
