How to reach Coimbra
Coimbra is served by two international airports: Lisboa (LIS) and Porto (OPO). Total connection time to Coimbra is roughly the same, either by car or public transportation.
Train
LIS – Arrivals at Lisboa may take the metro (~8 min ride, ~2 €) or an UBER/taxi (5 min ride, ~7 €) to the train station Oriente. From here take a long-distance train (“Alfa Pendular” or “Intercidades”) to Coimbra. Trains (20-25 €) depart every hour in average (see timetable) and take less than two hours to reach Coimbra-B station.
OPO – Arrivals at Porto may take the metro (~37 min ride, ~2 €) or an UBER/taxi (20 min ride, ~30 €) to the train station Campanhã. From here take a long-distance train (“Alfa Pendular” or “Intercidades”) to Coimbra. Trains (14-18 €) depart approximately every 45 min (see timetable) and take about one hour to reach Coimbra-B station.
If you are staying downtown you can take the connecting train to Coimbra-A (see the map). In any case, you can use an UBER/taxi (5-7 €).
Shuttle
Service door to door by www.airportshuttle.pt (29-34 € each way).
Car
Not necessary in Coimbra but if you choose this option expect about 1h30m ride from OPO and 2h00m from LIS to central Coimbra.
