Train from Lisbon Oriente station to Faro and vice versa
Station Oriente is a very beautiful and very famous station, the hub for the various networks of public transportation serving the eastern area of Lisbon, with a metro station, trains, buses, taxis and easy airport links. The station was created by master architect Santiago Calatrava with a roof of glass and steel.
The Alfa Penduar is a very comfortable and luxury train. A ticket from Lisbon Oriente Station to Faro (or vice versa) cost 19 euro.
Address station: Ed. Gare do Oriente, piso 1 - Av. D. João II. You can buy a ticket via internet, also from International station Santa Apolonia. The best thing to do is to reserve a ticket (and a chair number) at least one day before your journey.
You can overlook the fine views (picture: Aquaduct in Lisbon) during the 3 -hours trip, or work: sockets for laptops are at many of the seats.
