Travelling to Lisbon
    
If you're driving to Lisbon, you'll need to pass through Spain. However, Portugal
is part of the schengen visa arrangement, so border crossings are a mere formality;
there are plenty of places to cross. The road network is good, but Portugal
has a woeful road safety record. Driving from Madrid, take the N620 southwest
into Portugal.
There are two main rail routes: one from Paris, via San Sebastien and one from
Madrid. No rail route connects the Algarve with southern Spain. Journeys can
be long and crowded in season, as Portugal doesn't have the high-speed trains
enjoyed elsewhere in Europe. Two trains a day make the 10-hour journey from
Madrid.
Buses are plentiful from almost any destination and cheap - although budget
flights and rail passes are closing the gap. From the UK, you also have the
choice of taking a ferry to northern Spain, and then driving south. Lisbon's
transport showpiece is the intermodal (bus, train, metro) Gare do Oriente hub;
built for the World Expo in 1998, it's a gleaming, futuristic-looking structure.
Lisbon Airport is Portugal's main international gateway. Many airlines have
regular international services to and from the airport, often as stopovers en
route to Asian or Middle Eastern destinations. There are also regular domestic
connections to Faro, Oporto and other nearby cities.
