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.
Station Oriente. A ticket from Lisbon Oriente Station to Faro (or vice versa) cost about 19 euro.
The Alfa Pendular is a very comfortable, fast and luxury train.
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) from 30 days to at least one day before your journey.
Alfa Pendular connects the cities of Braga, Porto, Aveiro, Coimbra, Santarém, Lisbon, Albufeira and Faro, among others.
