London to Lagos, Algarve. Portugal

Lagos is situated in the South-Western part of the Algarve region of Portugal about 275 km from Lisbon Airport and 80 km from Faro Airport.

It does not have its own airport.

From London, most visitors fly in via Faro Airport. However, public transport from Faro Airport to Lagos is not easy.

You would have to get a local bus or taxi from Faro Airport to Faro Centre and then a bus or train from Faro to Lagos. Altenatively, you could arrange transport with one of the private shuttle services than operate from the airport

For flights from London Airports(Stansted, Gatwick, Luton) to Faro see:

Easyjet
Ryanair

Thomson's Fly

From Lisbon you would need to get a train or bus to Lagos:

By train you would take a taxi five minutes to Gare Oriente where there is a bus and rail station. From there you can get either train (change at Tunes juction) or RENEX bus to Lagos.
